The Christmas Duck Song Lyrics

[Intro]
Tell me a Christmas duck story
Bum bum bum, ba-dum ba-dum

[Verse 1]
A duck walked up to Santa's sleigh
And he said to Santa, who was loading his sleigh
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
Santa said "Well, hello there Duck
Grapes up here?
Sorry, no luck
This is the North Pole"
The duck said "Gotta roll"

[Chorus]
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
'Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum

[Verse 2]
When the duck walked up to Santa's sleigh
And he said to Santa, who was loading his sleigh
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
Santa said "Well, hello again
You're far from home my feathered friend
No, not even one"
The duck said "Gotta run"
[Chorus]
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
'Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum

[Verse 3]
When the duck walked up to Santa's sleigh
And he said to Santa, who was loading his sleigh
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
Santa said "I told you, not way up here
I haven't had a grape in many a year
You have nothing better to do?"
The duck said "Kinda true"

[Chorus]
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
'Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum

[Verse 4]
When the duck walked up to Santa's sleigh
And he said to Santa, who was loading his sleigh
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
Santa said "Look, duck, I'm not enjoying
The way each day you're more annoying!
Now please just move on"
The duck said "I'm gone"
[Chorus]
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
Then he waddled away, merry Christmas
'Til the very next day, bum bum bum bum bum ba-dum

[Verse 5]
When the duck walked up to Santa's sleigh
And he said to Santa, who was loading his sleigh
"Hey! (Bum bum bum) Got any grapes?"
Santa said "Duck, it's Christmas Eve
And it's time for me to leave
Merry Christmas and so long"
The duck said "Hang on"
Then the duck held out some grapes
He said "Merry Christmas!"
And Santa said "Thanks!"
He had a grape, and then he had two
Then he had a whole bunch, before he was through
He said "Milk and cookies, they're alright
But these grapes hit the spot, you made my night!
And now it's time for your Christmas gift
Would you like some lemonade?"
The duck said "How about a lift?"
Santa said "Sure, hop on my sleigh!
And now we need to be on our way
Up up reindeer, it's time for our flight!
Merry Christmas to all!"
And the duck said "Good night!"
[Chorus]
Then they both flew away, merry Christmas
Then they both flew away, merry Christmas
Then they both flew away, merry Christmas
On Santa's sleigh
