Odd Ducks is the 12th track on Rare Americans' “Searching For Strawberries”, its message follows the same lines as the song “Black Sheep”, showing how the Rare Americans are not your typical band.
[Intro: Jared & Jamesy Boy]
Being different isn't a bad thing
It just means you're brave enough to be yourself
(QUAAAAAAAAACK!)
[Verse 1: Jamesy Boy]
One of these things is not like the other
Basic sesame street, brother
They sent me to the schools where they try to reform you
Felt like the oddest kid, whole state of California!
[Chorus: Jamesy Boy]
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling and I'm proud to be
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling, doesn't bother me
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, I'm the first to say
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, it's the only way
[Verse 2: Jamesy Boy & Lubo]
One of these things is not like the other
Took a little while for my talent to uncover
Discovered, they mistakenly took
The cover at face value and misread the book
We see different prizes, we see different lines
We hear different voices, we see different signs
We have different callings, we're on different grinds
You know, I'm different by design
[Chorus: Jamesy Boy]
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling and I'm proud to be
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling, doesn't bother me
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, I'm the first to say
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, it's the only way
[Bridge: Jared & Jongo Bongo]
Characters, codgers, crockpots, cranks
Flakes, fruitcakes, headcases, kooks
(Quack, Quack, I'm not wack!)
Nuts, nutcases, nutjobs, eccentrics
(Quack, Quack, I'm not wack!)
Originals, screwballs, weirdos, zanies
(Quack, Quack, I'm not wack!)
Bohemians, mavericks, non-conformists
(Quack, Quack, I'm not wack!)
Rarities, freaks, non-followers, black sheep
Black sheep! Black sheep!
Odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks
Odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks, odd ducks
[Chorus: Jamesy Boy]
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling and I'm proud to be
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm an odd duck, darling, doesn't bother me
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, I'm the first to say
(Quack, Quack!)
I'm a strange bird, baby, it's the only way
