How About Hair?
|
Verse 1
The dog is a faithful, intelligent friend, But his hide is covered with hair; The cat will inhabit the house to the end. But her hide is covered with hair. The hide of the mammoth was covered with wool. The hide of the porpoise is sleek and cool. But you'll find, if you look at that gamboling fool, That his hide is covered with hair. Chorus Oh, I thank my God for this at the least, I was born in the West and not in the East, And He made me a human instead of a beast Whose hide is covered with hair! Verse 2 The cow in the pasture that chews the cud, Her hide is covered with hair. And even a horse of the Barbary blood, His hide is covered with hair. The camel excels in a number of ways, And travelers give him unlimited praise -- He can go without drinking for several days -- But his hide is covered with hair. Oh,... [CHORUS] Verse 3 The bear of the forest that lives in a pit, His hide is covered with hair' The laughing hyena in spite of his wit, His hide is covered with hair! The Barbary ape and the chimpanzee, And the lion of Africa, verily he With his head like a wig and the tuft on his knee, His hide is covered with hair. Oh,...[CHORUS] |
