Ode To a Critter
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Today I met a fish who was standin' on my front porch
Clappin' his clipper on my door
And he said do you mind if I live a while at your house
Cause I can't live in the waters anymore
Now I also met a bird who was chockin' through my window
And he darn near passed out on the floor
And he said do you mind if I'd stay a while at your house
Cause I can't stay in the air anymore
I dedicate this song to the folks who brought us dark and dirty waters
And to the ones who keep on throwin' all that filty black smoke in the air
And I also dedicate it to the bird and fish who now live here at my house
Cause they can't live out there anymore
Now I also met a cow who was standin' in my kitchen
Opening my refrigerator door
And she said do you mind if I fix myself a sandwich
Cause I can't live on the grass anymore
I dedicate this song to the folks who brough us dark and dirty waters
And to the ones who keep on throwin' all that filty black smoke in the air
And I also dedicate it to me and all the critters here at my house
Cause we can't live out there anymore
No we can't live out there anymore
