Does Anyone Know an English or Spanish Song Called “Now The Duck Is In The Stew Pot”?
Cathy wrote to me looking for help with a song:
Hello,
I am looking for a song I learned as a child, years ago. It was called “Now The Duck Is In The Stew Pot”. I remember learning the English and Spanish version but cannot find it anywhere.
It goes something like this:
Now the duck is in the stew pot.
Come and look while it is red hot
All the neighbours hungry looking,
Come and watch while it is cooking…Does this sound familiar to you? If so, do you have both the English and Spanish lyrics?
Thanks in advance,
Cathy

I learned that song too and it has rumbled in my head for over 40 years. I believe the words are:
Now the duck is in the stew pot
Come and look while it is red hot
See him lift his head to quaver
Put the onion in for flavor
All the neighbors hungry looking
They can smell that it is cooking
They would like so much to eat it
But they say no and leave it.
