about

Anatidaephobia is the fear that somewhere, somehow, a duck is always watching you.

lyrics

Duck Watch Blues (C) Darryl John 2018

Verse 1:
(E) I think a duck is watching me,
(A) Even though I cannot see,
(B) Maybe he’s hidin’ behind that tree,
(E) Why is that duck watching me?

Verse 2:
(E) He watches everywhere I go,
(A) Why he does this I don’t know,
(B) Observing me from head to toe,
(E) Why is that duck watching me?

Chorus:
(A) I don’t know where that duck came from,
(E) Or if he’s doing right or wrong
(E-F-F#) He’s watching every day and night,
(B) I swear he’s itchin’ for a fight,
(B-Bb-A) That duck won’t leave me alone
(E) He’s even there when I get (C#m) home
(A) I don’t know what I’m gonna (B) do,
(B-Bb-A) I’ve got those (B) duck watch (E) blues

Verse 3:
(E) I think this duck is really mad,
(A) Espying me through good and bad,
(B) I think his life must be real sad,
(E) Why is that duck watching me?

Verse 4:
(E) He watches everything I do,
(A) His eyes on me feel just like glue,
(B) So please tell me something new,
(E) Why is that duck still watching me?

Chorus:
(A) I don’t know where that duck came from,
(E) Or if he’s doing right or wrong
(E-F-F#) He’s watching every day and night,
(B) I swear he’s itchin’ for a fight,
(B-Bb-A) That duck won’t leave me alone
(E) He’s even there when I get (C#m) home
(A) I don’t know what I’m gonna (B) do,
(B-Bb-A) I’ve got those (B) duck watch (E) blues

Verse 5:
(E) I’ll live my life in morbid fear,
(A) With Anatidaephobia,
(B) I feel that quacker’s really near,
(E) So why’s that duck still watching me?
(B7) I know that quacker’s really near,
(E) Is that duck still watching me?
(B7) Gotta get right outta here,
(E) Cos that duck’s still watching me?
(B7) Said I’m getting outta here,
(E) I’ve got those (A) duck watch (E) blues (B7-E).
