What Would the World Be Like Without Music?

Tonight I remembered the words to my favorite song from elementary school choir. I’ve had the first couple of lines stuck in my head for a few days now, and finally sat down to see how many I could write out. By golly, I remembered them all (I think). Well, you can’t hear the catchy tune that does along, but hope you enjoy these lyrics –
What would the world be like without music?
Beautiful music! Just think of what it means
To you and me! What would the world be like
Without Mu-u-sic? Try to imagine how empty
Our lives would be. There’d be no melodies to
Whistle while you work. There’d be no songs to
Sing – like nanny-nanny-poo-poo. There’d be
No melodies to help you find the way you feel
You’d have to find another way-ay-ay-ay.
What would the world be like without mu-u-sic?
Try to imagine how empty our lives would be.
Share a favorite song of yours from childhood! Please :-)

My favorite has got to be “all god’s critters,” which I might remember or might mess up…
All god’s critters got a place in the choir
Some sing low and some sing higher
Some sing out loud on a telephone wire
Some just clap their hands or paws or anything they’ve got now
Listen to the bass it’s the one at the bottom
Where the bullfrog croaks and the hippopotamus
Moans and groans in a big to-do
The old cow just goes “moo”
The dogs and the cats they take up the middle
Where the honey bee hums and the cricket fiddles
The donkey brays and the pony neighs
The old coyote howls
Listen to the top where the little birds sing
With the melodies and the high notes ringing
The hoot-owls hollers over everything
The jaybird disagrees
Singing in the night-time, singing in the day
The little duck quacks and he’s on his way
And the otter hasn’t got much to say
And the porcupine talks to himself
It’s a simple song, a living song, sung everywhere
By the ox and the fox and the grizzly bear
The dopey alligator and the hawk above
The sly raccoon and the turtle-dove
