Mal Webb - Dodgy lyrics

The ugly duckling buckling under pressure to conform to the norm, fit the form The other ducklings all think it's important he get his neck shortened, dye his down, they gather round saying Dodgy dodgy dodgy, the little ducks say, dodgy dodgy dodgy, DODGY!x2 Oh, how the average can be so mean, is his pain a gain for their self esteem? But the ugly duck says "I don't give a damn, I am who I am, all I can do is really Try to be as me as I can be, try to be about as me as I can be"x2 The other ducklings laugh swim away, but one little duck decides to stay She's kinda dodgy in her own sweet way, she waddles up to him to say "hey, I like you cos you're dodgy..." So this daggy duo form a dud duck club, but so increasing reason for teasing It's dodgy duck season, together their hearts bleed, through tears they repeat the Dud Duck Creed "Try to be..." Then flying onto the pond one day a long tall stranger comes their way The mother ducks all say "Ooh what a guy", but something else catches his eye

He glides across to the ducklings where they're absorbed in taunting the dud duck pair He says "why do you endure this abuse? You're a swan and you're friend here's a goose" In a flash it all becomes clear, the big feet, the neck and the voice so queer To be a swan's cool, all the ducks agree, they're all craning their necks and all longing to be dodgy... Duck chicks are quackin onto him, but his little goose friend's at a loose end, out on a limb It seems geese are the least and get teased all day, so he leaps to her aid with a need to say Whether you're a duck or swan or goose To be stuck on what you're not's a lame excuse Why not be as you as you can do Only you can be as truly you as you In another flash a backlash happens and the pa**ionate pair fall foul of fashion Fickle trends tend to wend forever But a swan and a goose can be friends however dodgy...
