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
