Ode To A Critter - Roy Clark

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...
