Verse 1
(D minor)
Mr. Saxman,
hate to take you from your (D major) horn,
(G major) but each time I play the sax,
folks react (B flat major) with scorn.
I (C major) always get a silly squeak (D minor)
when I play the blues.
Bobbo, keep your cool.
I'll teach you how to blow the sax.
I think (G major) I dig your problem.
It's rubber and it quacks.
(B flat major) You'll never find the skill (C major) you seek.
Till (D minor) you pay your due, baby
You gotta put (G major) down the duck -ie
Yeah, put (D major) down the duck -ie
Put (A major) down the duck -ie
You've got (G major) to leave
that duck alone (D minor) (G major)
Yeah, you've gotta put
down the duck -ie
You've gotta put (D major) down the duck -ie
Put (A major) down the duck -ie
If you (G major) wanna play the saxophone (D major)
Well, now, you couldn't
hear (G major) a word I said
You've got to get (D major) it through your head
Now, come on now,
don't (E major) be a stubborn plucked barbeau (A major)
and lay aside the (E major) duck.
(A major) Yeah, but I, Listen,
(D major) I learned (D minor) a thing or two
from years of playing (D major) in a band.
It's (G major) hard to play a saxophone
with something in your hand.
(B flat major) To be a fine musician, (C major)
you're gonna have (D minor) to face the facts.
Yeah, but though I'm blessed
(D major) with (D minor) flying (Dsus4) fingers,
when I want (D minor) to wail, I'm stuck. (D major)
(G major) What good are flying fingers
when they're wrapped
around a duck? (B flat major)
Change the toy's (C major) position
if you wanna ace (D minor) the sax, baby.
You gotta put (G major) down the ducky.
Put down the ducky.
Put (D major) down the ducky! (D minor)
Put (A major) down the ducky,
you've (G major) got to leave that duck alone, (D major)
(G major) all (D minor) alone.
(G major) I've got to put down the ducky.
Yeah, you've got to (D major) put down that ducky.
Put (A major) down the ducky
if you (G major) want to play the sax (D major) ophone.
Wait a minute,
you mean
I don't have (G major) to put it on a drain?
You don't have to wash (D major) it down the (G major) drain.
(D major) You mean I don't (A major) have to
lock it in a drawer (G major) ?
You don't have to shut (D major) it on the (G major) door.
(D minor) I (D major) don't have (D minor) to (D major) closet (G major) it or lock it.
You'll send it flying (D major) in a rocket.
I don't even have to get it out (E major) of town.
Bobbo, put (A major) that quacker down.
Yeah, but I (D major) really love my (D minor) ducky,
and I can (Dsus4) 't bear (G major) to part with him.
Man, you're not going to lose your ducky.
(B flat major) You pick it up when you're finished.
(C major) I can? Yeah. (D minor)
Well, watch me wail,
then. (C major) (D major) (D minor) (Dsus4) Go. (G major)
Yeah.
(B flat major) Now you know (C major) what I mean, Jelly (D minor) bean.

(D major) When (D minor) you're hot, you're hot
Give (Dsus4) it all you (D minor) got
(C major) Give (D minor) it your best shot
Bobo, I think you're getting into it
That's because you're getting out of it
Is that good?
Oh, man, when you're out of it,
that's when you can get into it
Yeah, the music goes round and round
and it comes out there
But it's got to come from here
Oh, I think I
And then it goes everywhere
Uh -huh, everywhere
Wait, wait, wait, stop
What? Just (D minor) one. one.
Just Just little song.
Please, just one.
But I love my duck (D minor) y.
Listen. Play the sax,
and then you can get back to the quacks.
You understand?
