¶Lyrics / Text

In space, no-one can hear you quack. It is, therefore, a silent small explosion of flesh and feathers, bones and bill which marks the decompressive demise of a duck. Great in Aylesbury was the mourning, and loud the lament from Thame pond; for she was transported faster even than a Mallard; boldly she went where no duck has gone before. Alas, her anatidine frame was not evolved for such circumstances, and so she died the doughtiest death a duck may die: a nobler fate by far than number 17 with egg fried rice.
