about

Madeline created lyrics to this Brazilian tune that attempt to mirror the playfulness of it's original Portuguese version. In the studio, Matt really got a good sound for the guitar and zabumba (low end percussion)!

lyrics

The duck calls - and swaggers with a silly grin - quack, quack
He tells the gander come again - tonight
We'll have fun and dance the samba, the samba, the samba

The big goose decides he'd like to come a long - quack, quack
To join the party with his song - tonight
Let's have fun and join the chorus - won't you come have some fun

Then when the sun goes down
instruments abound, what a lively sound
O Tico Tico no Fuba

The duck is singing happily a little off key
The gander moving tail feathers to the strong beat
I like the part when they all join together in unison
belting out the new song - quack, quack, quack . . . . . .
