[Verse 1]
When CAdam when out to Dname the animals
He G7sat on a rock and he Cfigured
Horse and cow and Dgoat and a sheep
Were the G7best names that he could deCliver
But EAve looked around at Dall of that glory
Said, "G7Hon, I think we should conCsider
Something a bit more uDnique and refined
For G7each and every Ccritter"
[Chorus]
N.C.It's a Ccrash of rhinoceros, a Apomp of Pekinese
It's a Dm7gaggle of geese and a Gswarm of bees
A Dm7parliament of owl and Agam of whales
A pandeCmonium of parrot and a watch of nightingale
A Fhuddle of walrus, Ccompany of mole
ExulD7tation of lark and a G7murder of crow
A Csimple flock of sheep and a D7herd of deer
It's a G7bask of crocodiles, Csleuth Gof Cbear
[Verse 2]
Adam looked shocked and he Dscratched his head
G7Eve stood there happy and Cbeaming
The animals gathered in Dclose to their feet
With G7roars of delight, barks and Csinging
She'sA on a roll and Djust getting started
The G7birds and beasts held their Cbreath
What fine appellation Dwould they receive
And G7which one of them would be Cnext?
[Chorus]
N.C.It's a Cteam of oxen and a Arob of kangaroo
It's a Dm7charm of finch if there are Gmore than two
A Dm7troubling of goldfish, Acluster of cats
A Cbloat of hippopotami, a cloud of bats
OstenFtation of peacock, a Cbarren of mule
An D7army of ant, nurseG7ry of raccoon
A Cparcel of penguin and a D7dray of squirrel
A G7bed of oysters with or CwithGout the Cpearls
[Verse 3]
All of that naming lasted Dinto the night
G7Even the insects had Cgroupings
Eve was still bright eyed and Dwilling to finish
Though G7shoulders and fig leaf were Cdrooping
AAdam said, “Darling, I'm Dproud and amazed
You're G7really one heck of a Cwoman
So, lets go to sleep and toDmorrow we'll rise
And G7start naming rocks, plants and Cwoodlands”
[Chorus]
N.C.It's a Ctittering of magpie, Acompany of mole
Its a Dm7pride of lions and a Gtribe of goats
A Dm7plague of locust and a Apack of dogs
A Cleap of leopard an array of hedgehog
It's a Fcaravan of camels, a Cdrift of swan
A D7sulk of foxes and the G7list goes on
It's a Cprickle of porcupine, a D7battery of hens
A G7cohort of zebra and now, Conce GagCain
[Chorus]
It's a colony of rabbit and a Asounder of boar
An Dm7ambush of tigers, now Gjust a little more
It's a Dm7business of ferrets, a Aswarm of eels
A Ccovey of quail and a pod of seals
It's a paFrade of elephant, a Cdole of dove
A D7bale of turtles and G7all of them are loved
N.C.And she Ckissed the horde of hamsters on their D7furry little heads
G7Sighed with satisfaction and she Cwent Gto Cbed
