Five Little Ducks
Five little ducks went out one day.
(hold out a hand with 5 fingers extended)
Over the hills and far away.
(move hand up and down and hide behind your back)
Mother duck said,
 "Quack, Quack, Come back."
(form finger and thumb on spare hand into beak shape and move up and down as if mother duck is quacking)
But only four little ducks came back.
(bring hand out from behind back with only four fingers up)
