about

We live in a rural area of Central Virginia. One evening as I drove down our drive past our small pond, I was enjoying the sounds of frogs and then the neighbor's dogs began to bark too, and the words and tune: "Frogs have to croak, dogs got to bark" popped into my head. And most of the rest of the song came to me as I drove to town and back.

lyrics

I Can't Help But Sing

Frogs have to croak, dogs got to bark
Fish must swim and I can't help but sing

Pigs got to squeal, snakes have to slide
Birds must fly and I can't help but sing

Chorus

Sing about the world all around me
Sing about the universe above
Sing about the puzzles that confound me
Sing about the people that I love

Boats' made to float, planes s'posed to fly
Trains must roll and I can't help but sing

Rain has to fall, tide's got to turn
Dawn must break, and I can't help but sing

Chorus

(repeat first verse)
