Place In The Choir

Tom: C

 C                                             
All God's critters got a place in the choir,
G                 C                                     
Some sing low, 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.


[Verse 1]
C                                                                        
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom,
           G                       C                                      
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotomus
  F                             C                                         
Moans and groans with a big to-do,
                 G          C                                             
And the old cow just goes "moo".
    

[Verse 2]                                                                    
C
The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
G                               C
While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles
F                        C
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
G                  C
And the old coyote howls


[Chorus]
 C                                             
All God's critters got a place in the choir,
G                 C                                     
Some sing low, 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.


[Verse 3]                                                                        
C
Listen to the top where the little birds sing
G                        C
On the melodies with the high notes ringing
F                         C
The hoot owl hollers over everything
G               C
And the jaybird disagrees


[Verse 4]
C                                                                        
Singin' in the nighttime, singin' in the day,
     G                          C                                         
The little duck quacks and he's on his way,
     F                         C                                          
The opossum ain't got much to say,
                   G           C                                           
And the porcupine talks to himself.


[Chorus]
 C                                             
All God's critters got a place in the choir,
G                 C                                     
Some sing low, 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.


[Verse 5]                                                                        
C
It's a simple song of living sung everywhere
G                         C
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly gear
F                        C
The grumpy alligator the the hawk above
G                       C
The sly raccoon and the turtle dove


[Chorus]
 C                                             
All God's critters got a place in the choir,
G                 C                                     
Some sing low, 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.
