Bill Staines - Place in the choir

^GAll God's critters got a place in the choir ^DSome sing low, ^Gsome sing higher ^CSome sing out loud on the ^Gtelephone wires And ^Dsome just ^Gclap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

^GListen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom ^DWhere the bullfrog croaks and the ^Ghippopotamus ^CMoans and groans with a ^Gbig t'do ^DAnd the old cow just goes ^Gmoo

^GThe dogs and the cats they take up the middle ^DWhile the honeybee hums and the ^Gcricket fiddles ^CThe donkey brays and the ^Gpony neighs ^DAnd the old coyote ^Ghowls

^GAll God's critters got a place in the choir ^DSome sing low, ^Gsome sing higher ^CSome sing out loud on the ^Gtelephone wires And ^Dsome just ^Gclap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

^GListen to the top where the little birds sing ^DOn the melodies with the ^Ghigh notes ringing ^CThe hoot owl hollers over ^Geverything ^DAnd the jaybird ^Gdisagrees

^GSingin' in the night time, singing in the day ^DThe little duck quacks, ^Gthen he's on his way ^CThe 'possum ain't got ^Gmuch to say ^DAnd the porcupine talks to ^Ghimself

^GAll God's critters got a place in the choir ^DSome sing low, ^Gsome sing higher ^CSome sing out loud on the ^Gtelephone wires And ^Dsome just ^Gclap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now

^GIt's a simple song of living sung everywhere ^DBy the ox and the fox and ^Gthe grizzly gear ^CThe grumpy alligator the ^Gthe hawk above ^DThe sly raccoon and the ^Gturtle dove

^GAll God's critters got a place in the choir ^DSome sing low, ^Gsome sing higher ^CSome sing out loud on the ^Gtelephone wires And ^Dsome just ^Gclap their hands, or paws, or anything they got now
