And the other birds, in so many words
said, "Ptt! Get out of town!

:59:08
"Ptt! Get out!
:59:10
"Ptt! Ptt! Get out!
Ptt! Ptt! Get out of town!"

:59:15
And he went with a quack
and a waddle and a quack

:59:19
In a flurry of eiderdown
:59:23
Shall I tell you the rest of the story?

1:00:43
And he looked and he saw
and he said, "I am a swan!

1:00:47
"Whee!"
1:00:50

1:00:53
