Ronnie is on guitar and Ted plays the four string banjo. Great version lads. This song was also recorded by Celtic Thunder.

[Chorus]

All[D] God's creatures got a place in the choir,

[A7]Some sing high and some sing lower,

Some[G] sing out on the telophone[D] wire

[A7]Some just clap their[D] hands their paws or anything they got.

[1]

[D]Listen to the bass its the one at the bottom

Where the[A7] bull frog croaks and the[D] hippopotamus

[G]Moans and groans in the big tat[D]too

And the old cow just[A7] goes[D] moo

[2]

Listen to the top with the little birds singing

And the melodies,and the high notes ringing

And the hoot-owl cries over everything

And the blackbied disagrees

Singing in the night time singing in the day

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

And the other hasn't got much to say

And the porcupine talks to himself

[Chorus]

Its a simple song sung everywhere

By the ox and the fox and the grizzle bear

The dopey aligator and the halk above

The sly old weasel and the turtle dove

A Place In The Choir Lyrics Only

All God's creatures got a place in the choir,

Some sing high and some sing lower,

Some sing out on the telophone wire

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

[1]

Listen to the bass its the one at the bottom

Where the bull frog croaks and the hippopotamus

Moans and groans in the big tattoo

And the old cow just goes moo

[2]

Listen to the top with the little birds singing

And the melodies,and the high notes ringing

And the hoot-owl cries over everything

And the blackbied disagrees

Singing in the night time singing in the day

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

And the other hasn't got much to say

And the porcupine talks to himself

[Chorus]

Its a simple song sung everywhere

By the ox and the fox and the grizzle bear

The dopey aligator and the halk above

The sly old weasel and the turtle dove

All God's Creatures With Slightly Different Lyrics

A Place In The Choir
as performed by Makem and Clancy

[Chorus]
All God's creatures 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.

[Repeat Chorus]

Well listen to the bass its 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,
Where the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles,
The donkey brays and the pony neighs,
And the old gray badger sighs.

[Chorus]

Listen to the top with the little birds singing,
And the melodies and the high notes ringing,
And the hoot-owl cries over everything,
And the blackbird disagrees.

Singing in the night time singing in the day,
And the little duck quacks and he's on his way,
And the otter hasn't got much to say,
And the porcupine talks to himself.

[Chorus]

Its a simple song living song everywhere,
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,
The grumpy alligator and the hawk above,
The sly old weasel and the turtledove.
