The mamma duck said 'Quack, quack, quack, quack', but only three little ducks came back Three little ducks went swimming one day over the hills and far away. The mamma duck said 'Quack, quack, quack, quack', but only two little ducks came back Two little ducks went swimming one day over the hills and far away.

The mamma duck said 'Quack, quack, quack, quack', but no little ducks came swimming back Note - some versions end here. Others add the following verse:

The mamma duck went out swimming one day, over the hills and far away, The mamma duck said 'Quack, quack, quack, quack', And five little ducks came swimming back! Note - personally I teach slightly older children with behaviour disorders, so I came up with the following alternative ending to suit their 'needs': Two duck hunters went hunting one day, over the hills and far away, their duck calls went 'Quack, quack, quack, quack', And five little ducks went home in a sack!
