All God's critters got a place in the choir,
Some sing lower.
Some sing higher, some sing out loud
On the telephone wire.
Some just clap their hands or paws
Or anything they've 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 to-do.
And the old cowiest goes moo. (moo)
Dogs and cats they take up the middle
Where the humming birds hum
And the crickets fiddle.
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
And the old coyote howls. (howls)
Listen to the top with the little bird singin'
On the melody with the high notes ringing'.
The hoot owl hollers over everything
And the jay bird disagrees. (squawking)
Singin' in the nighttime, singing' in the day
Little duck quack and he's on this own way
The possum ain't got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself. (mumbling)
Simple song of love and care
With the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear.
The grumpy alligator and the hawk above
Sly raccoon and the turtle dove. (coo-coo)
OK, OK, Everybody back in the barn.
Let's go. Let's go.

Go romp in the swamp, go squish not stomp,
Wear pants and shoes.
You better get set to get a little wet
And use some bug juice.
Walk right in where life abounds.
Shut your mouth and listen to the sounds.
Ribet, ribet, quack, quack
Cattails bouncing' off your back.
Boom diddle diddle diddle room (3x).
Go romp in the swamp, go squish not stomp,
Wear pants and shoes.
You better get set to get a little wet
And use some bug juice.
Watch where you walk, don't step on the nest.
Big green grass that the mamas like best,
Little muskrats, baby Northern pike.
Swamps are what those mamas like.
"Junior, get back in the swamp," "yes, Mama."
Go romp in the swamp, go squish not stomp,
Wear pants and shoes.
You better get set to get a little wet
And use some bug juice.
I wouldn't go there with my bathing suit on.
Mosquitos are so bad, it wouldn't take long.
They bite and bite, you wouldn't have a chance.
Make you do the mosquito dance.
One, two, three, four, I can't stand it anymore.
Repeat
Go romp in the swamp, go squish not stomp,
Wear pants and shoes.
There's a spider on my knee
And she's crawling over me.
Oh what, oh what should I do?
Should I brush her on the floor
And sweep her out the door?
Should I shake hands and say
"How do you do?"
Well, Hey Ms. Spider, want some apple cider?
How about a cookie or two, three four?
Well, I'd like to be polite and treat this spider right,
She's a living thing and she's got feelings too.
Now she's crawling on my tummy and I'm feeling kind of funny.
Oh what oh what should I do?
Should I give a little giggle
When her hairy legs go tickle?
Gosh I wonder if a spider's ticklish too?
(Do you think they are?)
Well, Hey Ms. Spider, want some apple cider?
How about a cookie or two, three four?
Well, I'd like to be polite and treat this spider right,
She's a living thing and she's got feelings too.
Now she's crawling on my chin
And I'm tryin' to keep a grin.
Oh what, oh what should I do?
Should I give a little sneeze? (ah choo)
And blow her in the breeze?
Should I hold my breath until I'm turning blue?
Well, Hey Ms. Spider, want some apple cider?
How about a cookie or two, three, four?
But wait, now she's crawling out of sight
With a smile so polite
Guess she know I'm a living thing with feelings too.

Mud, mud, mud, what a glorious thing is mud.
Mud, mud, mud, what a wonderful thing is mud.
It sticks and stacks and squeezes through cracks.
Between your toes goes mud.
It flops and drops and oozes and gooses.
Thick in your hand it's mud.
It's mud pie in your eye.
The cakes it makes are grand.
It covers your feel, it covers your face,
Stir it with both your hands.
Mud, mud, mud, what a glorious thing is mud.
Mud, mud, mud, what a wonderful thing is mud.
It sticks and stacks and squeezes through cracks.
Between your toes goes mud.
It flops and drops and oozes and gooses.
Thick in your hand it's mud.
Up to your elbows, up to your knees,
It slips and slops around.
It's easy to make a chocolate cake
Take water and add some ground.
Mud, mud, mud, what a glorious thing is mud.
Mud, mud, mud, what a wonderful thing is mud.
It sticks and stacks and squeezes through cracks.
Between your toes goes mud.
It flops and drops and oozes and gooses.
Thick in your hand it's mud.
Mud they say has a way of changing clean to dirt.
But after all, when you tell them all,
What can a little dirt hurt?
Mud, mud, mud (gooey) what a glorious thing is mud.

Pollution

If you visit American city, you will find it very pretty.
Just two things of which you must beware--
Don't drink the water and don't breath the air.
Pollution, pollution, we've got smog and sewage and mud
Turn on your tap and get hot and cold running crud.
See the halibut and the sturgeon
Being wiped out by detergent.
Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly,
But they don't last long if they try.
Pollution, pollution, you can use the latest toothpaste
And then rinse your mouth with industrial waste,
Just go out for a breath of air,
And you'll be ready for Medicare.
The city streets are really quite a thrill.
If the crime doesn't get you, the monoxide will.
Pollution, pollution, wear a gas mask and a veil
Then you can breathe, long as you don't inhale.
Lots of things there that you can drink.
But stay away from the kitchen sink.
The breakfast garbage we throw into the bay
They drink for lunch in San Jose.
Pollution, pollution, see the crazy people there.
Drinking the water, yes drinking the water
And breaking (cough) the air.
Early every day I drive my truck out to the street.
Morning sun is shinin' on the trash that I will meet.
It's broken dolls and rubber wheels, TV sets and orange peels,
Baby rattles, paper plates, newspapers and rusty skates.
Ooh ooh ooh keep on truckin' (R)
You gotta compact it (R) compress it (R)
Recycle (R) make less of it (R)

You gotta sort it , shred it, burn it to ash.
There's a lot of hard work when you're workin' with trash.
Take it to the terminal, dump it on the barge.
Put it some place that's awfully large.

Takin' out the garbage can be such a drag.
There's some crusty old gristle and an old dish rag.
They're sit-in' on top near some moldy old beans.
There's some slimy green spinach that smells mighty mean.
Aluminum cans full of yellowish goo
Oozing over plastic, caked with mildew,
Well, last night's dinner mixed with oatmeal glue
Was pasted to a melon with some doggie doo.
Aluminum foil foil squished in a big wad
Of something' green and fuzzy. I started to sob.
It all mixed up in this bag.
Takin' out the trash can be such a drag.
Uh huh Recycle, It's a better way.
Uh huh Recycle, It's a better way. Uh huh.

What can I do? I've got the Garbage Blues,

There's an old beer bottle that I couldn't see in,
Sittin' right next to a rancid tuna tin.
You know I looked inside, something' dribbled in my eye.
It was brown and lumpy. I started to cry.
Dealin' with the garbage is a terrible task.
There's gotta be something' I can do with this trash.
Uh huh Recycle, It's a better way.

Separated what I could from the crusty dish rag.
Through the slimy green spinach in the compost heap.
Thrashin' in the trash. I was knee deep.
All the paper and the cans, every bit of that glass
Got recycled right out of the trash.
Uh huh Recycle, It's a better way.

Garbage

Paper towels and toilet paper
Come with a tube inside,
And when the paper's all used up, we just
Throw the tube aside .
But a friend of mine makes rocket ships
And telescopes from times,
We just call it garbage when we don't know
What to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
And right outside the factory is a great big garbage bin.
And when the thread gets all used up, we just throw the old spools in.
But someone said "Don't throw that away;
I'll make puppets from the spools."
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
And lots of thing get thrown away that really shouldn't be.
And we all can have our own ideas when we start to see
That there just might be another use or something we can do
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.
We just call it garbage when we don't know what to do.

Time to let our children live in a world that will be.
Ally, ally, ally, ally, oxen free (R)
Earth and air, clear and fair, full of love and care.
