CHORUS: All God’s critters got a place in the choir

                Some sing low, some sing higher

                Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

                Some just clap their hands, their paws or anything they’ve got now

1.  Listen to the bass it’s the one on the bottom

     Where the bullfrog sings and the hippopotamus

     Moans and groans with a big to-do

     And the old cow just goes, “Mooooo.”

2.  The dogs and the cats they take up the middle

     Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles

     The donkey brays and the pony neighs

     And the old coyote, “Hoooowwwwls!”

3.  Listen to the top where the little birds sing

     On the melody with the high notes ringing

     The hoot owl hollers over everything and the jaybird disagrees

4.  Singin’ in the night time, singin’ 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

5.  It’s a simple song of livin’ sung everywhere

     By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear

     The grumpy alligator and the hawk above

     The sly raccoon and the turtle dove
