When I was in middle school- which was over 10 years ago, this was the musical we performed for a k-12 school. I still come back to it all these years later with joy and nostalgia!
I was one of the ducklongs and I have anxiety so it was hard for me to get on stage but when it was the last showing, I started crying because I never knew I could accomplish something like this. I just want to say that whatever stands in your way from achieving your goals, just walk right past it and do what YOU want. This is musical made me have new friends and actually be proud of myself. Good luck to everyone
Afablesotrue wow we had to sing.... I GOT IDA I AM SO HAPPY cause umm the little kids call you by your name in the play..... I don't wanna be called Ugly
Ida: Hold your head up high Like the most happy fella While down below each thigh Apropos a propeller Must keep paddling like the clappers You keel paddling with your flappers While seeming to be dreaming and calm Ugly: Like this? Ida: That's the way Bend your knees No splashing please Ugly: Sorry Ida: And steady watch that eddy to your right, Danger sign Ugly: Danger Sign? Ida: That's fishing line Ugly: Fishing line? Ida: Which strangles if it tangles you up tight He's a natural in a class of his own Ugly: This is wonderful I am feeling full grown Ida: Look at you .stlyrics You have every reason to Both: Hold your head up high Ida: As if free from all troubles Your back stays nice and dry Ugly: But my bottom's in bubbles Both: You keep paddling like the clappers just keep paddling with your flappers while seeming to be dreaming and calm Ida: Just beneath the surface You may struggle to get by Ugly: But nothing can deter you Both: If you hold your head up high
@@PremiumF0X That's what she says in this recording, but it's supposed to be dry. I just helped out with a production of this show (the jr version), and she says dry. It makes sense, too, since dry rhymes with high. Honestly not sure why they changed it to straight in this one.
@sasuketubbywubby lol Sounds alittle familiar. I think everyone in that production was in love with him. I even saw him this past year, and he looks even better then he did back then.
Aaaaaaaaaaah! Auditioning for Ida and ugly ! So nervous! This and Joy of motherhood are my auditioning songs! My friends say I’m so good at singing....I was Alex the lion (in Madagascar jr.) and everybody has such high expectations of me now. Dang it!
I auditioned for Ugly and Ida (and I’m auditioning for Dot tomorrow) I got a callback for both Ugly and Ida I’m hoping I get Ida but I would be fine with Dot and Ugly too
Yo voy a hacer esa obra en México Quitana Roo los invito a vernos este 7 de octubre a las 18:00 en el teatro cancun UNICA FUNCION! costo del boleto $120 pesos en taquilla del teatro! los esperamos!
Same, honestly. It's weird, too, because over the summer I helped out with a production of this show (Jr version and everything), and the recordings that the company gave us were different; the orchestrations and singers weren't the same as (but were better than) these ones that are on TH-cam. Maybe they recently decided to remake them, or something?

this song gives me such waves of sadness i don’t know how to explain it ?? idk but certain versions make me sob :(
My favorite lines were:
Beaky: What’s mama laid?
Drake: Marmalade is a thick orange preserve usually served on toast.
I am drake this year lol
Lol, those lines are so funny

You keel paddling with your flappers
While seeming to be dreaming and calm
Ugly:

Bend your knees
No splashing please
Ugly:

Ida:
As if free from all troubles
Your back stays nice and dry
Ugly:

while seeming to be dreaming and calm
Ida:
Just beneath the surface
You may struggle to get by
Ugly:
But nothing can deter you
Both: If you hold your head up high
adelbee actually it’s “Your back stays nice & straight” not “dry”

Ida:
Hold your head up high
Like the most happy fella
While down below each thigh
Apropos a propeller
Must keep paddling like the clappers
You keep paddling with your flappers
While seeming to be dreaming and calm
Ugly:
Like this?
Ida:
That's the way
Bend your knees
No splashing please
Ugly:
Sorry
Ida:
And steady watch that eddy to your right
Danger sign
Ugly:
Danger sign?
Ida:
That's fishing line
Ugly:
Fishing line?
Ida:
Which strangles if it tangles you up tight
He's a natural in a class of his own
Ugly:
This is wonderful, I am feeling full grown
Ida:
Look at you
You have every reason to
Both:
Hold your head up high
Ida:
As if free from all troubles
Your back stays nice and dry
Ugly:
But my bottom's in bubbles
Both:
You keep paddling like the clappers
just keep paddling with your flappers
while seeming to be dreaming and calm
Ida:
Just beneath the surface
You may struggle to get by
Ugly:
But nothing can deter you
Both: If you hold your head up high
