Duck in a Tree
You’re a duck in a tree
You’re out of your league
But you’re firm as a fig
You’re a bear in Madrid
Oh, look at you
Go on and wiggle your tail
Proud as a porno-queen
Duck in a tree
Leaping from limb to limb
Somehow you’re squirrelly and nimble
Your mate is a’swopping around
You’re just up there conversing
Oh, look at you
Looking right as revenge
A startling silhouette
Duck on a limb
Oh, look at you
Wiggle your tail
Proud as a porno-queen
Duck in a tree
Well I guess you’re all rested up
I guess you’re off for some water
But think of the splash here you made
Me and all the local birds are jealous
So beautiful
As you spring out of sight
Just a momеnt in your migration
Duck in the sky
