Lyrics

O pato
The duck was dancing by the water, quack, quack, quack
The rhythm made him think he oughta quack, quack
He was dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
Oh, goose, oh
The goose was gaining passing by, honk, honk, honk
He stopped and gave the dance a try, honk, honk
He was dancing to the samba
The new thing, the new swing
Then a lovely swan swam by
In all her majesty, then she loosened up
Hoochy-coochy-coo did that swan
She joined the duck and goose and did the samba too
You should have seen the kind of samba she could do
They did the samba so long, they all fell right in the water
While they were swinging away
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, o pato
The duck was happy to begin a quack, quack, quack
And he was really giving into quack, quack
He was dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
Oh, goose, oh
The goose came fast as he could move, home, honk, honk
He joined the duck and struck a groove, honk, honk
The bossa nova had him dancing
The new thing, the new swing
Then a lovely swan swam by
In all her majesty, then she loosened up
Hoochy-coochy-coo did that swan
She joined the duck and goose and did the samba too
You should have seen the kind of samba she could do
They did the samba so long, they all fell right in the water
While they were swinging away
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, o pato
O pato
The duck was dancing by the water, quack, quack, quack
The rhythm made him think he oughta quack, quack
He was dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
Oh, goose, oh
The goose was gaining swimming by, honk, honk, honk
He stopped and gave the dance a try, honk, honk
He was dancing to the samba
The new thing, the new swing
Then a lovely swan swam by
In all her majesty, then she loosened up
Hoochy-coochy-coo did that swan
She joined the duck and goose and did the samba too
You should have seen the kind of samba she could do
They did the samba so long, they all fell right in the water
While they were singing away
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack
Quack, quack, quack
They were dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
They were dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
They were dancing to the samba, the samba, the samba
They were dancing to the samba
