# The Ducks Have Taken Shark Island [Intro — spoken] “Put the kettle on.” ... **QUACK.** “No.” [Verse 1] Morning breaks on Shark Island, Something’s very wrong. There are ducks along the cliff path Marching neatly in a throng. One is guarding by the Mansion, One is sitting by the bay, One has somehow found a whistle— “Who put that thing in charge today?” [Pre-Chorus] From the forest to the shoreline, From the fields down to the pier, Everywhere we turn around— There’s another duck right here. [Chorus] The ducks have taken Shark Island, They’ve claimed the bloody place. One is sitting on the rooftop With a smug look on its face. They’ve got biscuits, they’ve got teacups, They’ve got absolutely no clue— But somehow every monster’s laughing, And there’s still a place for you. [Verse 2 — Vampire] The vampire storms out dramatically, “I REFUSE TO LIVE LIKE THIS!” A duck waddles up beside him And gives his cape a little kiss. He freezes. Looks offended. Looks around. Then whispers low— “...Fine. But if it touches my coffin, It has to go.” [Bridge] Thunder rolls above the island, Purple lightning splits the sky. The ghosts are singing from the windows, Skeletons are stacked three high. And beneath all of the madness, There’s a strange and cosy truth— Shark Island’s always been a home For the odd, the lost, the loose. [Final Chorus] The ducks have taken Shark Island, Let the whole mad island shake! Monsters dancing, ghosts are cheering, Someone’s rescued half the cake. We’ve got storms and strange companions, And a family pulling through. If the world calls us peculiar— Well, it’s probably true. [Outro — spoken] “Right. New rule.” “No ducks in the teapot.” **QUACK.** “No ducks in the coffin.” **QUACK.** “No ducks in the—” ... “What?” “Why is there a duck driving the car?” [Tyres squeal] “Oh, for God’s sake.”
