Place in the Choir

Album: Possible Bag

Lyrics

CH:  All God’s critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire
And some just clap their hands, paws or anything you got now



v1)  Listen to the bass, he’s the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to-do and the old cow just goes “moo”



v2)  The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
Where the hummingbird hums and the crickets fiddle
The donkey brays and the pony neighs and the old coyote howls



CHORUS



v3)  Listen to the top where the little birds sing
On the melody those high notes ringin’
The hoot owl hollers over everything and the jaybird disagrees



v4)  Singin’ in the nighttime, singin’ in the day
The little duck quacks and he’s on his way
The possum ain’t got much to say and the porcupine talks to himself



CHORUS



v5)  It’s a simple song, a living song everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
The grumpy alligator and the hawk above
The sly raccoon and the turtle dove



CHORUS
