[Dialogue] All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir

[Charles or Doris Hahn]

Hey Nancy!
Long time since India days!
This song reads greaat, but I don't know how it sounds.  Is it a familiar tune 
that I can't identify, or is it something peculiar to these words.  Where might 
I find it?
Thanks,
Charles

You probably know the tune - 

    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
And some just clap their hands
Or paws
Or anything they got.  Now...

    Verse 1:
Listen to the bass, it's the one on the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans with a big t'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.

     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
And some just clap their hands
Or paws
Or anything they got.  Now...

    Verse 2:
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 nighttime, singing in the day,
The little duck quacks, then he's on his way.
The possum aih't got much to say,
And the porcupine talks to himself.

    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
And some just clap their hands
Or paws
Or anything they got.  Now...

    Verse 3
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 turtledove.
 
    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
And some just clap their hands
Or paws
Or anything they got NOW!

Thought this would be a great way to start the day,
Nancy
