Birthday!!!!

Sesame St Rubber Duckie Lyrics:

Rubber Duckie you’re the one,

You make bathtime lots of fun,
Rubber Duckie I’m awfully fond of you
Vo-vo-dee-o!
Rubber Duckie, joy of joys,
When I squeeze you, you make noise,


Rubber Duckie you’re my very best friend it’s true
Oh, every day when I, make my way to the tubby
I find a little fellow who’s cute and yellow and chubby!
Rub-a-dub-dubby!


Rubber Duckie you’re so fine,
And I’m lucky that you’re mine.
Rubber Duckie, I’d love a whole pond of,
Rubber Duckie, I’m awfully fond of you!


Oh, every day when I, make my way to the tubby
I find a little fellow who’s cute and yellow and chubby!
Rub-a-dub-dubby!


Rubber Duckie you’re so fine,
And I’m lucky that you’re mine,
Rubber Duckie I’m awfully fond of you!



They now come in different colors,


sizes



party ones



or all business




History
It's is believed the rubber duck was first seen around 1880,
about the same time rubber manufacturing emergend
The were made out of a hard rubber than the ones today



There are many charity rubber duck races in the US
Thousands of them are dumped into a body of water
usually a river or pool.
They then float down a course that is marked off with buoys
the first to cross the finish line is the winner






Elvis, Duckie has left the building
 


You have to admit they are cute
