A Place In The Choir Lyrics - Singles - Staines Bill

A PLACE IN THE CHOIR 

All God's critters got a place in the choir 

Some sing low, some sing higher, 

Some sing out loud on the telephone wires, 

And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they 

got now 

REPEAT 

Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom 

Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus 

Moans and groans with a big t'do 

And the old cow just goes moo. 

The dogs and the cats they take up the middle 

While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles, 

The donkey brays and the pony neighs 

And the old coyote howls. 

CHORUS 

Listen to the top where the little birds sing 

On the melodies with the high notes ringing, 

The hoot owl hollers over everything 

And the jaybird disagrees. 

Singin' in the night time, singing in the day, 

The little duck quacks, then he's on his way. 

The 'possum ain't got much to say 

And the porcupine talks to himself. 

CHORUS 

It's a simple song of living sung everywhere 

By the ox and the fox and the grizzly gear, 

The grumpy alligator the the hawk above, 

The sly racoon and the turtle dove. 

CHORUS 

REPEAT
