Ducky Has A Donut

Song of the Month · 2019

Here's a fun little song about donuts (also spelled doughnouts), which are enjoying a current boost in popularity with young children right now. Print out the accompanying book to read and sing. The lyrics offer examples of rhyming, alliteration (building phonological awareness in early literacy), and informal American speech (whaddya, and eatin'). Children understand these words, but for ESL students it offers a less formal but typical experience with the English language.

Lyrics

Ducky has a donut, Doggie has a donut,
Froggy has a donut too
Monkey has a donut, Mousie has a donut
Whaddya think they're gonna do?

Ducky's eatin' his donut, Doggie's eatin' his donut,
Froggy's eatin' her donut too
Monkey's eatin' his donut, Mousie's eatin' her donut
You can eat a donut too

Donuts, the funny cake with a hole
Hold it up and you can see me through it
Donuts, the funny cake with a hole
You can't eat the middle 'cause there's nothin' to it

Ducky has a donut, Doggie has a donut,
Froggy has a donut too
Monkey has a donut, Mousie has a donut
You can have a donut too,
You can have a donut too
