God Made the Possum

When God created this old world There's something you should know He made all the animals Some fast and some real slow He made some with wings and feathers Some with hide and hair Some are mighty common And others awfully rare He thought he'd used up all his parts But he found that he still had some He took the spares and made one more And he called it the Possum He took the head and tail from a big ol' rat The body from a porcupine He removed the quills, put in some hair And he said that looks just fine Of all the things that he's created Some of them quite awesome It's unique in all the world This critter called the Possum When you hear him in your trash at night Or underneath your floor Don't kick or scream or lose your cool Or be afraid anymore It's quite possible the things he does You might consider dumb But remember God created him This thing we call the possum He took the head and tail from a big ol' rat The body from a porcupine He removed the quills, put in some hair And he said that looks just fine When God was finished with this job He said "I'm pleased with what I've done" There's nothing in this whole wide world To compare with the Possum He took the head and tail from a big ol' rat The body from a porcupine He removed the quills, put in some hair And he said that looks just fine When God was finished with this job He said "I'm pleased with what I've done" There's nothing in this whole wide world To compare with the Possum
