Bill Staines Place in the Choir Lyrics:
A Place In The Choir
by Bill Staines
Cho: 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, or paws
Or anything they got now.
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big to do
And the old cow just goes moo.
The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles.

The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old coyote howls.
Cho.
Listen to the top where the little birds sing
On the melodies with the high notes ringing.
The hoot owl hollers over everything
And the jaybird disagrees.
Singing in the night time, singing in the day
The little duck quacks, then heÕs on his way.
The 'possum ain't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself.
Cho.
It's a simple song of living 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.
Cho.
