Dady Brothers - A Place in the Choir (home made music video)

I do not own this song. This is just a fan video. This there is an issue, I will remove the video!

This is a fun little song that I had to make a video for. I fell in love with the Dady Brothers back in college. A fun brotherly duo that does traditional Irish folk and original Irish folk, based out of Rochester, NY.

A Place in the Choir is a traditional folk song made popular by The Clancy Brothers with Tommy Makem. Here's a link to their version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcG1JNpazN4 (made by UISTMAN59) The song was origianlly written by a folk singer/songwriter, Bill Staines here the man himself, singing his over creation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nHayfrUIJDM (posted by somper10). Obviously the words have changed a bit over time....still I fun song.

A Place in the Choir

All God's critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low, some sing higher,
Some sing out loud on the telephone wires,
And some just clap their hands, or paws, or anything they
got now

REPEAT

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

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.

CHORUS

It's a simple song of living sung everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly gear,
The grumpy alligator the the hawk above,
The sly racoon and the turtle dove.

CHORUS
REPEAT
