All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir [C] - Bill Staines
[CHORUS]x2-1st one NC, CLAP
|[C] All God's critters got a place in the choir
|[G7] Some sing low, [C]some sing higher
|[F] Some sing out loud on the [C]telephone wires
|And [G7] some just clap their [C[ hands, or paws or anything they got now
[Verse 1]
[C] Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the [G7] bullfrog croaks and the [C] hippopotamus
[F] Moans and groans with a [C] big to do
And the [G7] old cow just goes [C] moo
[CHORUS]
[Verse 2]
[C] Well the dogs and the cats they take up the middle
While the [G7] honeybee hums, the [C] cricket fiddles
The [F] donkey brays and the [C] pony neighs
And the [G7] old coyote [C] howls
[CHORUS]
[Verse 3]
[C] Listen to the top where the little birds sings
On the [G7] melodies with the [C] high notes ringing
The [F] hoot owl cries over everything
And the [G7] jaybird disa-[C]grees
[CHORUS]
[C] Singin' in the night time, singin' in the day
The [G7] little duck quacks then he's [C] on his way
And [F] the otter hasn't got [C] much to say
And the [G7] porcupine talks to [C] himself
[CHORUS]
[C] It's a simple song of living sung everywhere,
By the [G7] ox and the fox and the [C] grizzly bear,
The [F] grumpy alligator and the [C] hawk above,
The [G7] sly old weasel and the [C] turtle dove.
