The time has come for me to speak

Uh, oh the time has come

And while the silence picks on me

I pray not be dumb



So I am hunting for the words

Just wait 'til I find some

I need some syllables do you

Know where to get them from?



When I am in my house alone

My speeches take a week

But from my lips when you are near

A sound will seldom leak



When I was a little girl

I coined a mighty text

Looking back I blush to hear

What I'd come out with next



It's now the time for me to speak

But what if they talk back

Oh when I open up my beak

Let's hope that I can quack



And if I do look out, beware

The truth is hard to take

And everything for all I care

Can jump into a lake, yeah



It's now the time for me to speak

But what if they talk back

Oh when I open up my beak

Let's hope that I can quack, quack
