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

[David Zahrt]

Thanks Nancy,

I saw that shortly after I emailed you. I've started a SONG CIRCLE here in
Carson City. Uses the book RISE UP SINGING. We're meeting once a month.
Surprise of all surprises, that song is in the song book.

I've collected 4 swarms of bees and am mentoring 2 women that are starting
up in beekeeping. Will see if we get any honey in the fall.

>>  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!
