Crazy Mixed Up Song

[Verse 1]
'Twas midnight on the ocean, not a streetcar was in sight
The sun was shining brightly in the middle of the night
A barefoot boy with shoes on stood there sitting in the tree
And when I put my glasses on I heard this melody

[Chorus]
Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother
Be kind to the denizen of the swamp
He's a dilly through and through
You may think that this is the end
Well, it isn't 'cause there is another chorus

[Verse 2]
'Twas midnight on the ocean when the rain began to snow
He hurried to me slowly 'cause the time had come to go
I said I'd wait forever if it wouldn't take too long
And silently we harmonized this crazy mixed up song

[Chorus]
Be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother
Be kind to the denizen of the swamp
He's a dilly through and through
You may think that this is the end
Well, it isn't 'cause there is another chorus

[Verse 3]
'Twas midnight on the ocean on the day I married him
He didn't know his name was Fred, that's why I called him Jim
We settled down in London, France, beside the pyramids
And raised a little family of crazy mixed up kids

[Chorus]
So be kind to your web-footed friends
For a duck may be somebody's mother
Be kind to the denizen of the swamp
He's a dilly through and through
You may think that this is the end
Well, it is
