Lyrics

The time has come for me to speak
Uh oh the time has come
And while the silence picks on me
I pray to not be dumb
So I am hunting for the words
Just wait 'til I find some
I need some syllables do you
Know where to get them from?
When I am in my house alone
My speeches take a week
But from my lips when you are near
A sound will seldom leak
When I was a little girl (When I was a)
I coined a mighty text
Looking back I blush to hear (Looking back I)
What I'd come out with next
Is now (Is now) the time (The time) for me (For me) to speak (To speak)
But what (But what) if they (If they) talk back? (Talk)
O when (O when) I o- (I o-) -pen up (-pen up) my beak (My beak)
Let's hope (Let's hope) that I (That I) can quack (Quack)
And if I do look out beware
The truth is hard to take
And everything for all I care
Can jump into a lake
Yeah
Is now the time for me to speak
(When I was a little girl) (When I was a little girl)
But what if they talk back?
(I coined a mighty text)
Looking back I blush to hear (Looking back I blush to hear)
(O when I open up my beak)
What I'd come out with next
(Let's hope that I)
Quack
Yeah
Quack
