OLD MACDONALD

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee i ee i oh!

And on his farm he had some chicks,

Ee i ee i oh!

With a cluck-cluck here,

And a cluck-cluck there

Here a cluck, there a cluck,

Everywhere a cluck-cluck

Old MacDonald had a farm

Ee i ee i oh!

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee i ee i oh!

And on his farm he had some cows,

Ee i ee i oh!

With a moo-moo here,

And a moo-moo there

Here a moo, there a moo,

Everywhere a moo-moo

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee i ee i oh!

Old MacDonald had a farm,

Ee i ee i oh!

And on his farm he had some pigs,

Ee i ee i oh!

With an oink-oink here,

And an oink-oink there

Here an oink, there an oink,

Everywhere an oink-oink

Old MacDonald had a farm

Ee i ee i oh!

ALL GOD'S CRITTERS

All God's critters got a place in the choir

Some sing lower and some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

And 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 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.

All God's critters got a place in the choir

Some sing lower and some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

And some just clap their hands or paws,

Or anything they got now.

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.

Singin' in the night time, singing in the day,

The little duck quacks, then he's on his way.

The 'possum ain't got much to say

And the porcupine talks to himself.

All God's critters got a place in the choir

Some sing lower and some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

And some just clap their hands or paws,

Or anything they got now.

It's a simple song of living sung everywhere

By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear,

The grumpy alligator the hawk above,

The sly raccoon and the turtle dove.

All God's critters got a place in the choir

Some sing lower and some sing higher

Some sing out loud on the telephone wire

And some just clap their hands or paws,

Or anything they got now
