Here is the (quite scary) Five little ducks song(it is not long):



Five little ducks went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
but only four little ducks came back.

Four little ducks went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
but only three little ducks came back.

Three little ducks went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
but only two little ducks came back.

Two little ducks went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
but only one little duck came back.

One little duck went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
but none of the little ducks came back.

Mother duck herself went out one day,
over the hills and up away.
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",
and all of the little ducks came back.

    I remember the words to this being slightly different when I was young, many moons ago. But I also remember being traumatised by it! Where were those missing ducklings for all those days?! Why was nobody out looking for them?! And what sort of irresponsible mother manages to lose so many children and keeps letting the rest of them out to play?! The horror!

JavaScript (ES9), 227 bytes



This is similar to the Node version below but uses a formula based on parseInt() instead of Buffer() to identify the input verse.



This is ES2018 (aka ES9) because we're using a regular expression with the /s flag (dotAll).



s=>'Mother duck herself1and all23,,Three4two3,Five4four3,Four4three3,One01but none23,Two4one0'.split`,`[parseInt(s,30)&7].replace(/d/g,n=>[x=' little duck',y=/ w.*n/s.exec(s),' of the',x+='s',x+y+'but only '][n])+s.slice(-11)


Try it online!



How?



In this version, we parse the entire input verse as base 30 (0 to t) and perform a bitwise AND with 7. The parsing stops on the first invalid character, leading to:



 verse | valid part | base 30 -> decimal | AND 7
-------+------------+--------------------+-------
0 | 'fi' | 468 | 4
1 | 'fo' | 474 | 2
2 | 'three' | 23973734 | 6
3 | 't' | 29 | 5
4 | 'one' | 22304 | 0
5 | 'mother' | 554838747 | 3




JavaScript (Node.js),  233 231  227 bytes



Saved 2 bytes thanks to @Shaggy



s=>'Three4two3,Four4three3,Mother duck herself1and all23,One01but none23,,,Two4one0,,Five4four3'.split`,`[Buffer(s)[2]%9].replace(/d/g,n=>[x=' little duck',y=/ w.*n/s.exec(s),' of the',x+='s',x+y+'but only '][n])+s.slice(-11)


Try it online!



How?



The third character of each input verse can be used as a unique identifier. By taking its ASCII code modulo 9, we get:



 verse | 3rd char. | ASCII code | MOD 9
-------+-----------+------------+-------
0 | 'v' | 118 | 1
1 | 'u' | 117 | 0
2 | 'r' | 114 | 6
3 | 'o' | 111 | 3
4 | 'e' | 101 | 2
5 | 't' | 116 | 8


The output verses are encoded with the following templates:



 verse | template
-------+---------------------------------
0 | 'Five4four3'
1 | 'Four4three3'
2 | 'Three4two3'
3 | 'Two4one0'
4 | 'One01but none23'
5 | 'Mother duck herself1and all23'


Where each digit is replaced with a string according to the following table:



 digit | replaced with
-------+---------------------------------------------------
0 | ' little duck'
1 | / w.*n/s.exec(s)
2 | ' of the'
3 | ' little ducks'
4 | ' little ducks' + / w.*n/s.exec(s) + 'but only '


Where the regular expression / w.*n/s extracts this common part from the input:



 went out one day,[LF]
over the hills and up away.[LF]
Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",[LF]


We finally add the last 11 characters of the input, which is " came back.".

PHP (7.4), 253 bytes





<?=strtr($argv[1],array_combine($a=[Five.$l=($o=" little duck").s,($b="but only ").four.$l,Four.$l,$b.three.$l,Three.$l,$b.two.$l,Two.$l,$b.one.$o,One.$o,"but none of the$l","Mother duck herself","and all of the$l"],[...array_slice($a,2),$a[0],$a[1]]));


Try it online!



This creates an array of every possible replacement (12 in total) in a key=>value format. Example: ['Mother duck herself' => 'Five little ducks', etc...] and then just replaces those using strtr.



The only interesting thing is my first ever usage of "Unpacking inside arrays" which is a new feature in PHP 7.4.





PHP, 264 bytes





<?=str_replace(($a=[[Five.$l=($o=" little duck").s,($b="but only ").four.$l],[Four.$l,$b.three.$l],[Three.$l,$b.two.$l],[Two.$l,$b.one.$o],[One.$o,"but none of the$l"],["Mother duck herself","and all of the$l"]])[$i=strpos(vuroet,($v=$argv[1])[2])],$a[++$i%6],$v);


Try it online!



I have stored different words of each verse in an array. I find which verse the input is using third character of the input as it is unique (vuroet). Then I simply replace different words of that verse with different words of the next verse.

    DECLARE @ VARCHAR(MAX)SELECT @=v FROM i
    SELECT @=REPLACE(@,PARSENAME(value,2),PARSENAME(value,1))FROM string_split(REPLACE(REPLACE('e.but none.and all-e.One1.2-o.only one1.none of the1s-o.Two1s.One1-r.two1s.one1-r.Three.Two-u.three.two-u.Four.Three-v.four.three-v.Five.Four-t.and all of the.but only four-t.2.Five1s',1,' little duck'),2,'Mother duck herself'),'-')WHERE LEFT(value,1)=SUBSTRING(@,3,1)PRINT @


    Input is via a pre-existing table $i$ with VARCHAR(MAX) field $v$, per our IO rules.



    After a couple of space-saving string replacements, the code looks something like this (formatted for easier understanding):



    DECLARE @ VARCHAR(MAX)
    SELECT @=v FROM i
    SELECT @=REPLACE(@,PARSENAME(value,2),PARSENAME(value,1))
    FROM string_split('e.but none.and all
    -e.One little duck.Mother duck herself
    -o.only one little duck.none of the little ducks
    -o.Two little ducks.One little duck
    -r.two little ducks.one little duck
    -r.Three.Two
    -u.three.two
    -u.Four.Three
    -v.four.three
    -v.Five.Four
    -t.and all of the.but only four
    -t.Mother duck herself.Five little ducks','-')
    WHERE LEFT(value,1)=SUBSTRING(@,3,1)
    PRINT @


    STRING_SPLIT and PARSENAME are used to break a string into rows and columns via - and . separators.



    The first column is a key character that is matched against the 3rd letter of the input verse (thanks for the idea, @Night2). The second and third are the replacements being performed for that verse.

      This is similar to the Node version below but uses a formula based on parseInt() instead of Buffer() to identify the input verse.



      This is ES2018 (aka ES9) because we're using a regular expression with the /s flag (dotAll).



      s=>'Mother duck herself1and all23,,Three4two3,Five4four3,Four4three3,One01but none23,Two4one0'.split`,`[parseInt(s,30)&7].replace(/d/g,n=>[x=' little duck',y=/ w.*n/s.exec(s),' of the',x+='s',x+y+'but only '][n])+s.slice(-11)

      How?



      In this version, we parse the entire input verse as base 30 (0 to t) and perform a bitwise AND with 7. The parsing stops on the first invalid character, leading to:



       verse | valid part | base 30 -> decimal | AND 7
      -------+------------+--------------------+-------
      0 | 'fi' | 468 | 4
      1 | 'fo' | 474 | 2
      2 | 'three' | 23973734 | 6

      The third character of each input verse can be used as a unique identifier. By taking its ASCII code modulo 9, we get:



       verse | 3rd char. | ASCII code | MOD 9
      -------+-----------+------------+-------
      0 | 'v' | 118 | 1
      1 | 'u' | 117 | 0
      2 | 'r' | 114 | 6
      3 | 'o' | 111 | 3
      4 | 'e' | 101 | 2
      5 | 't' | 116 | 8


      The output verses are encoded with the following templates:



       verse | template
      -------+---------------------------------
      0 | 'Five4four3'
      1 | 'Four4three3'
      2 | 'Three4two3'
      3 | 'Two4one0'
      4 | 'One01but none23'
      5 | 'Mother duck herself1and all23'


      Where each digit is replaced with a string according to the following table:



       digit | replaced with
      -------+---------------------------------------------------
      0 | ' little duck'
      1 | / w.*n/s.exec(s)
      2 | ' of the'
      3 | ' little ducks'
      4 | ' little ducks' + / w.*n/s.exec(s) + 'but only '


      Where the regular expression / w.*n/s extracts this common part from the input:



       went out one day,[LF]
      over the hills and up away.[LF]
      Mother Duck said, "Quack Quack Quack Quack",[LF]


      We finally add the last 11 characters of the input, which is " came back.".

      This creates an array of every possible replacement (12 in total) in a key=>value format. Example: ['Mother duck herself' => 'Five little ducks', etc...] and then just replaces those using strtr.



      The only interesting thing is my first ever usage of "Unpacking inside arrays" which is a new feature in PHP 7.4.

      I have stored different words of each verse in an array. I find which verse the input is using third character of the input as it is unique (vuroet). Then I simply replace different words of that verse with different words of the next verse.

              PRINT @


              STRING_SPLIT and PARSENAME are used to break a string into rows and columns via - and . separators.



              The first column is a key character that is matched against the 3rd letter of the input verse (thanks for the idea, @Night2). The second and third are the replacements being performed for that verse.

                STRING_SPLIT and PARSENAME are used to break a string into rows and columns via - and . separators.



                The first column is a key character that is matched against the 3rd letter of the input verse (thanks for the idea, @Night2). The second and third are the replacements being performed for that verse.
