Notes

This song originally comes from "Small Songs for Small Singers" (1907) by William Harold Neidlinger. Here's the original version:

Mr. Duck went to call on Mr. Turkey,
And he walked with a wobble, wobble, wobble,
And he said, "How do ye do?" to Mr. Turkey
Mr. Turkey said, "Gobble, gobble, gobble."
Mr. Duck then answered, "Quack, quack, quack!"
And turned around to go right back.
Mr. Turkey said, "I'll go with you."
And they looked so very queer those two.
Mr. Duck was walking, wobble, wobble, wobble.
Mr. Turkey talking, "Gobble, gobble, gobble."
