Put Down The Duckie |
|
Ernie: Excuse me, Mr. Hoots |
|
I hate to bug a busy bird |
|
But I want to learn the sax |
|
And I need a helpful word |
|
I always get a silly squeak |
|
When I play the blues |
|
Hoots: Ernie, keep your cool |
|
I'll teach ya how to blow the sax |
|
I think I dig your problem |
|
It's rubber, and it quacks |
|
You'll never find the skill you seek |
|
Till you pay your dues |
|

You didn't hear a word I said |
|
You gotta get it through your head |
|
Don't be a stubborn cluck |
|
Ernie, lay aside the duck! |
|
I've learned a thing or two |
|
From years of playing in a band |
|
It's hard to play a saxophone |
|
With something in your hand |
|
To be a fine musician |
|
You're gonna have to face the facts |
|
Though you're blessed with flying fingers |
|
When you wanna wail, you're stuck |
|
What good are flying fingers |
|
If they're wrapped around a duck? |
|
Change the toy's position |
|
If you wanna ace the sax! |

Don't have to lock it in a drawer |
|
Don't have to shove it out the door |
|
Don't have to stuff it in your pocket |
|
Or send it flyin' in a rocket! |

Don't have to get it out of town! |
