lyrics

In Praise Of The Creatures Jan Hauenstein

(C) (F) (C) (G)
Hoo(C)ray for the (F)pig,
(C)Pig, it is you we (G)dig,
For (C)you, no mud hole (Am)is too big!
Hoo(F)ra(G)y for the (C)pig!
It (Am)grunts and squeals and (Am7)squeals and grunts,
Some(F)times we´re not sure (C) what it wants,
Hoo(F)ray, hoo(G)ray for the (C)pig! (F) (C) (G)

Hoo(C)ray for the (F)mare,
The (C)mare is very (G)fair,
She (C)often runs from (Am)here to there,
Hoo(F)ra(G)y for the (C)mare!
She (Am)runs and trots and (Am7)trots and runs,
Quite (F)often she runs (C) more than once,
Hoo(F)ray, hoo(G)ray for the (C)mare! (F) (C) (G)

Hoo(C)ray for the (F)cow,
She (C)looks at you right (G)now,
And (C)quietly thinks, 'Why, (Am)when, and how?'
Hoo(F)ra(G)y for the (C)cow!
She (Am)eats and rests and (Am7)rests and eats,
And (F)when she sleeps, she (C)needs no sheets,
Hoo(F)ray, hoo(G)ray for the (C)cow! (F) (C) (G)

Hoo(C)ray for the (F)cat,
She (C)can be quite a (G)brat,
And (C)yet we think she's (Am)where it’s at,
Hoo(F)ra(G)y for the (C)cat!
(Am)Purrs and is quiet, is (Am7)quiet and purrs,
We (F)know she thinks our (C)house is hers,
Hoo(F)ray, hoo(G)ray for the (C)cat! (F) (C) (G)

Hoo(C)ray for the (F)child,
It (C)runs so free and (G)wild,
You (C)know it has your (Am)heart beguiled,
Hoo(F)ra(G)y for the (C)child!
It (Am)plays and laughs and (Am7)laughs and plays,
A (F)child deserves the (C)highest praise,
Hoo(F)ray, hoo(G)ray for the (C)child! (F) (C) (G)

And (Am)if you played out (F)in the sun,
And you (C)both had a (G)lot of fun,
You (F)get a kiss, I (G)(hold)bet -
And that's (C)(hold)that!

Why no free uploads? I cover songs. Register them with the German music rights agency GEMA. They hopefully reimburse the artists. The tax authorities demand that I make (not lose) a little money each year... ... more
