Life is like an aeroplane
Here in Duckburg
Airplanes, airplanes, aeroplanes!
It’s a duck blur
Might fly an airplane
Or crash that airplane
AIRPLANES! Uh, DUCKTALES!
Now I’m on a boat with Dewey
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Hey, a scooter! WHOOPS! Kablooey!
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
I’ll catch up in a sec or two
Guys, look out, some guy’s behind you!
Even worse, here comes the key change!
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Jump in the plane for the refrain
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Wait, ducks have tails
I just got that
That’s why the name of the show is
DuckTales! Woo-oo!
Life is like an evil scheme, here on GlomTales
Sharks and bombs and Scrooge’s screams, it cannae GlomFail
Cannae top my grand plan, to beat that Scotsman
GlomTales!
Technically I’m Scottish as well
GlomTales!
Uugggghhh—Scrooge stinks, Scrooge stinks, Scrooge stinks, Scrooge stinks
GlomTales!
What’s next? Oh yeah!
C-C-C-CG, it’s so fancy
Once Scrooge sees this, there’s no chance he
Cannae compete with the glory of GlomTales!
Bravest, strongest, and most modest, GlomTales!
Okay, we ran out of budget, but kids 6 to 10 will love it
GlomTales!
