Big Duck Ramble c. Caroline Doctorow

In the town of Flanders on a highway road
Out on route twenty four
There sits a famous sight to behold
I'm telling you now if you've never been told
Built by a farmer before '35
To sell poultry to the passer by
Then by a stroke of luck
He built a Big Duck
I'm telling you now because you ought to be told
About the Big Duck sitting on the county road

Chorus
Graceland is just an empty house without Elvis
Plymouth rock is really very small
Death Valley's hot and Yellowstone's cold
Hoover dam, you've seen it all
I'm telling you now 'cause you ought to be told
About the Big Duck sitting on the county road

The Big Duck is made of ferrocement
With shiny car part eyes
When the duck became a Big Duck store
It made those feathers fly
Thirty feet long and twenty feet high
A duck so big that you can walk inside
There's no hurricane that's gonna blow it away
I'm telling you now because you ought to be told
About the Big Duck sitting on the county road

Solo/Chorus

Now it's a kind of duck museum
Been on the cover of magazines
In roadside books it's bonifide
You've travel the world both far and wide
You've been as far a Galilee
The Big Duck is still the biggest duck you'll ever see
I don't think that farmer knew
How much it means to me and you
I'm telling you now because you ought to be told
About the Big Duck sittin' on the county road

The Big Duck
Our people's Duck!
