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,

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

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 .
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.

Verso 2:
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."
G
All God's creatures got a place in the choir.

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire,

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
The sly old weasel and the turtle dove.
