I've got three shadows don't you know,
They will follow wherever I go.
I've got three shadows ain't that a cracker!
Milly, Molly and Mandy-Quackers.
Wherever I am, whatever the weather
We stick together like birds of a feather.
Although, I'll admit they're not quite like me,
They've beaks and wings this band of three.
Whether taking their treasure or lifting their poo
If I wander hither they'll wander too.
All the folks in the village and for miles around
Know who we are, when they hear the sound
Of their little kebs and my big feet,
Walking down our main street.
They flock around us, whisper again and again
'There's that girl and her three ginger hens.'
