Ah What the Duck
Joey died late today
He fell out of the sky
He met a cruel fate that way
Although I don't why
He used to make a quacking sound
That always raised a smile
Tilt his head to look at me
Made me giggle like a child
In the morning he would come
And spend sunrise with me
Later on if things looked good
He'd head on out to sea
He always left me feeling good
Except today I'm sad
How could people be so cruel
To do a deed so bad
Some cowards crouching in the swamp
Too camouflaged to see
Shot poor Joey from the sky
And killed a part of me
Joey died late today
He fell out of the sky
He met a cruel fate that way
Although I don't know why
