A Place in the Choir - Celtic Thunder CHORUS: - INTRO [NC] ACAPELLA & CLAP |C | All God's creatures got a place in the choir, |G C | Some sing low and some sing higher, | F C | Some sing out loud on the telephone wire, |G C | Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got, now. [REPEAT CHORUS] [C] Listen to the top where the little bird sings, And the [G] melodies, and the high notes ringing, And the [F] hoot-owl cries over every [C] thing, And the [G] blackbird [C] disagrees. Singing in the night time, singing in the day, And the [G] little duck quacks, and he's on his way, And the [F] otter hasn't got much to [C] say, And the porcupine [G] talks to [C] himself. [CHORUS] [C] The dogs and the cats, they take up the middle, Where the [G] honeybee hums, and the cricket fiddles, The [F] donkey brays, and the pony [C] neighs, And the old gray [G] badger [C] sighs. [C] Listen to the bass it's the one on the bottom, Where the [G] bullfrog croaks, and the hippopotamus, [F] moans and groans with a big to [C] do, And the [G] old cow just goes [C] moo. [CHORUS] [C] It's a simple song, a little sung everywhere, By the [G] ox and the fox and the grizzly bear, The [F] dopey alligator and the hawk [C] above, The [G] sly old weasel and the [C] turtledove. [CHORUS] [OUTRO] All God's creatures got a place in the choir!
