Story behind the song
A schizophrenic friend of mine used to have a habit of repeating 'rubber ducky' and once when I was stoned I decided that latex was rubber and could be extracted from such a toy and that this would make a weird subject for a song. It has been used on several TV programmes including S4C's 'Y Ty' (the House) drama series.
Lyrics
Extracting the latex from a rubber ducky Gets you in a mess, yes very mucky We'll give you all a try if you're very lucky At extracting the latex from a rubber ducky. Rubber Ducky is never gonna stop Rubber Ducky could take us to the top Rubber Ducky can really make some noise 'Cos Rubber Ducky's just one of the boys! Sussing out a means of sustenance Do what you like it's a new dance Come on, babe, why don't you take a chance At sussing out a means of sustenance Rubber Ducky is never gonna stop Rubber Ducky could take us to the top Rubber Ducky can really make some noise 'Cos Rubber Ducky's just one of the boys! Chatting up the birds in a British bird-book Selecting all the goers by the way that they look I fancy the skylark and you can have the rook Chatting up the birds in a British bird-book Rubber Ducky is never gonna stop Rubber Ducky could take us to the top Rubber Ducky can really make some noise 'Cos Rubber Ducky's just one of the boys! Picking out the bones of a herringbone jacket Doesn't make a noise It doesn't make a racket It could get somewhere if you'll only back it Picking out the bones of a herringbone jacket. Rubber Ducky is never gonna stop Rubber Ducky could take us to the top Rubber Ducky can really make some noise 'Cos Rubber Ducky's just one of the boys!
