D G Some sing low and some sing higher, C G Some sing out loud on the telephone wire, D G Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they got now.(G G, D, G / C, G, D, G) Verso 2: G Dogs and the cats, they take up the middle D G While the honeybee hums and the cricket fiddles, C G The donkey brays and the pony neighs D G And the old grey badger sighs.
