Lyrics
DRAKE: As a drake, my mistake was letting her go searching For my son (yeah, that one) It ain't right I've spent weeks filling beaks, hearing "Daddy!", "Daddy!", "Daddy!" I'm depressed, 'round the nest, day and night When Ida said she'd go I had to let her A shame, because this apron suits her better Where's the joy in motherhood? An endless round of chores that have to be done And when you think you've seen the back of them You find in actual fact you're back at square onе There's no joy in motherhood And if thеre is, there's something I just can't see Yet Ida somehow copes with all of this And then on top of that, she puts up with me BEAKY: *spoken from offstage* Dad! DRAKE: *spoken* Now, what?! IDA: I will search every pond, I will search every stream, every river And the broadest of bays, and the widest of lakes must be crossed While you are missing from my life, it's me who's feeling lost Without you, I feel lost CHORUS: Look at her, it's a shame that she won't face the fact Look at her, can't she see the way the odds are stacked? TURKEY *spoken* Well, have you heard anything from Ida yet? DRAKE: *spoken* She's got the cell phone switched off, but the pigeon delivered a note this morning. It says: "I'm here, Ratt's Bottom/Twin Juggs, Minnesota". I don't know if that's a place or if she's just being offensive CHORUS (MEN): Look at her, nothing seems to shake her strong belief (Nothing shakes her strong belief) Look at her (Look at her), it's so hard to come to terms with Grief (grief) IDA *spoken*: And he's about so high with a rather characteristic honk GREYLAG *spoken*: I'd say that squatty. He shot through a while ago. I say shot through, but it was us who were shot through. It was like Pearl/Sag Harbor DOT *spoken*: I think you mean Pearl Harbor/Waterloo, dear CHORUS (FEMALE SOLOIST): Look at her (Look at her), so convinced that she is getting near (so convinced she's getting near) Look at her, she may be a little late, we fear (a little late, we fear) *LOWB****: And how do we know you're not a tomcat? *IDA*: I beg your pardon? *LOWB****: The last duck who came by here turned out to be a tomcat. One of those nasty transfeatherites *QUEENIE*: Did someone say "tomcat"? CHORUS: As each season slips away, sadly there's a trend Common sense would seem to say "there's no happy end" *IDA*: No, Drake, he was last seen traveling in the direction of Moorland Farm *CAT*: That's north of here, isn't it? *IDA*: Yes *CAT*: How very interesting... *IDA*: YOU!
