A DUCK IN NEW YORK CITY (1990)

performed by Heather Bishop, Adrian Peek and Don Benedictson

 

 

"Yo!  Yo!  Yo homey!  Wait a minute.  Yo!  What's that on your feet, man?  Ooh man, that's some bad kicks, man.  Where can I buy some?  Man, I never seen nothing like that in my life.  You must come from Mars or something!"

 

There was a little duck in New York City

Which is not exactly perfect for a duck

Instead of little ponds with little lilies

There are great big buildings, pavement and trucks

 

But if you are a duck in New York City

You do the very best with what you've got

You don't go waddling after dark

You take a taxi to the park

And you find a fire hydrant when it's hot

 

Her apartment was too small to have a bathtub

So she had to go out, waddling in the street

She'd pretend that she was swimming down the pavement

Even though it often hurt her little feet

 

She loved to see the Knicks down at the Garden(s)

And the shows down on the Avenue

And she felt right at home in New York City

'Cause everyone is quackers through and through

 

Start spreading the news!

I'm leaving today!

I want to be a part of it!

New York, New York!

 

There was a little duck in New York City

Which is not exactly perfect for a duck

Instead of little ponds with little lilies

There are great big buildings, pavement and trucks

 

But if you are a duck in New York City

You do the very best with what you've got

You don't go waddling after dark

You take a taxi to the park

And you find a fire hydrant when it's hot!

 

"Boy, I've only been in New York for five minutes and already they're bugging me about my feet.  Boy, one crack about my nose and that'll be it!"
