All God's Critters

[Chorus]

All God's creatures (critters) got a place in the choir

Some sing low and some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

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

[Chorus]

G

All God's creatures got a place in the choir

D                 G

Some sing low and some sing higher

     C                    G

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

D                    G

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

[Interlude]

G G D G  C G D G

[Verse]

G

Listen to the top where the little birds sings

       D                 G

On the melodies with the high notes ringing

        C                   G

And the hoot owl cries over everything

        D             G

And the blackbird disagrees

G

Singin' in the night time, singin' in the day

        D                           G

And the little duck quacks and he's on his way

        C                G

And the otter hasn't got much to say

        D                    G

And the porcupine talks to himself

[Chorus]

G

All God's creatures got a place in the choir

D                 G

Some sing low and some sing higher

     C                    G

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

D                    G

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

[Interlude]

G G D G  C G D G

[Verse]

G

Dogs and the cats they take up the middle

          D                     G

While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles

    C                    G

The donkey brays and the pony neighs

        D               G

And the old grey badger sighs

G

Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom

          D                       G

Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus

C                       G

Moans and groans with a big to do

        D                 G

And the old cow just goes moo

[Chorus]

G

All God's creatures got a place in the choir

D                 G

Some sing low and some sing higher

     C                    G

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

D                    G

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

[Interlude]

G G D G  C G D G

[Verse]

       G

It's a simple song of livin' sung everywhere

       D                      G

By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear

    C                           G

The dopey alligator and the the hawk above

        D                         G (this is later than other verses)

The sly old weasel and the turtle dove

[Chorus] (x2 and first line a third time, dramatically)

G

All God's creatures got a place in the choir

D                 G

Some sing low and some sing higher

     C                    G

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

D                    G

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