Irish traditional song lyrics \u2014 collected by Beer Belly Band.<\/em><\/p>\n

Bill Staines
\nAll god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>\n

All god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>\n

Listen to the bass it’s the one at the bottom
\nWhere the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
\nMoans and groans in the big tattoo
\nAnd the old cow just goes “moo”
\nThe dogs and the cats they take up the middle
\nWhere the honey bee hums and the cricket fiddles
\nThe donkey brays and the pony neighs
\nAnd the old grey badger sighs oh<\/p>\n

All god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>\n

Listen to the top with the little birds singing
\nAnd the melodies and the high notes ringing
\nAnd the hoot-owls cries over everything
\nAnd the blackbird disagrees
\nSinging in the night-time, singing in the day
\nAnd the little duck quacks and he’s on his way
\nAnd the otter hasn’t got much to say
\nAnd the porcupine talks to himself<\/p>\n

All god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>\n

It’s a simple song, a little one sung everywhere
\nBy the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
\nThe dopey alligator and the hawk above
\nThe sly old weasel and the turtle-dove<\/p>\n

All god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>\n

All god’s creatures got a place in the choir
\nSome sing low and some sing higher
\nSome sing out loud on the telephone wire
\nSome just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
