"Five Little Ducks" is a classic kids song. This is a song sang by Murray, making it the first song he sang all by himself. When the song is played in concerts, Captain Feathersword performs the song with Murray and when the ducks go missing from Father Duck, he cries because he doesn't like it when this happens.
The song debuted in the Wake Up Jeff! album and later appeared on the Wiggle Time! 1998 video.

English[]
Five little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But only four little ducks came back
Four little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But only three little ducks came back
Three little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But only two little ducks came back
Two little ducks went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But only one little duck came back
One little duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
But none of the five little ducks came back
Oh, dear. That made father duck really sad.
Captain Feathersword: (He's crying, because he's very sad about little duckies gone.)
Murray: That's Captain Feathersword.
Captain Feathersword: (In a high pitched, while crying.) All the five little duckies are gone, Murray!
Murray: Oh, Captain.
Captain Feathersword: (He's sobbing.) Oh, boo-hoo.
Murray: (He is comforting him grabbing a red bucket & a hanky.) Oh, he's very sad.
Captain Feathersword: Oh, very sad.
Murray: Don't cry, Captain. Here's a handkerchief.
Captain Feathersword: Oh, thank you, Murray. (He is using a handkerchief, while he's crying again about little ducks still didn't come back.)
Murray: Oh, Captain. Oh, poor Captain.
Captain Feathersword: (He is deep inhale very loudly. Then, he continues to wails that he plays peek-a-boo.)
Murray: Captain...
Captain Feathersword: (He is squeezing a handkerchief, until the water comes out.)
Murray: Ooh! Lots of tears, Captain.
Captain Feathersword: (He laughs, until more water squeezing into a red bucket.)
Murray: You finished? Oh, still going. You finished now? Oh! Okay?
Captain Feathersword: (He's laughing over that funny part, while he's not crying anymore.) All right, I think. Oh, boo-hoo.
Murray: Now, Captain, are you all right? Because there's...
Captain Feathersword: (He is laughing over that funny little duckies are coming back now.)
Murray: Cheer up, Captain. I think he is cheered up. He's cheered up already. Hey, Captain, guess what?
Captain Feathersword: (He chuckles.) What, Murray?
Murray: There's a happy ending. Did you know that?
Captain Feathersword: Oh, wow!
Murray: I thought you must know that because you're laughing already. Captain, there's a happy ending.
Captain Feathersword: (He laughs.) Wow!
Murray: Father duck went looking for the five little ducks.
Captain Feathersword: Hurrah!
Old father duck went out one day
Over the hills and far away
Father duck said quack, quack, quack, quack
And all of the five little ducks came back
Cinco Patitos[]
Cinco patitos fueron a pasear
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Solo cuatro patitos volvieron a dar
Cuatro patitos fueron a pasear
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Solo tres patitos volvieron a dar
Tres patitos fueron a pasear
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Solo dos patitos volvieron a dar
Dos patitos fueron a pasear
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Solo un patito volvieron a dar
Un patito salio a pasear
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Pero no ___________
"Ah, caray. Papa pato se puso muy triste.
Entonces, se fue a buscar a sus patitos."
El papa patito veo a buscar
Por la montaña y más allá
Papa patito dijo, "Cuac, cuac, cuac"
Y los cinco patitos volvieron a dar
