Roy Clark - Ode to a Critter lyrics

rate me

(Red Lane - Larry Henley)

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...
