G* D*
You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess
Em* C*
Because you look quite a bit like me
G* D*
You're not as eloquent and you've a hairier chest
Em* C* D*
But I can't pick my family
G D
As I shake your hand I can feel your grip
Em C
And it's definitely firmer than mine
G D
They say a strong handshake shows the man is equipped
Em C D
But if I called you a man I'd be crossing a line
Em
You're an animal
C D
You're not like me
Em
You're an animal
C D
I have dominion over thee
G D Em C
G D Em C
G
You might be my cousin
D Em C D
But I don't know if you could be my friend
G
'Cause you don't seem the person on
D Em C D
Which when I'm in need I could depend
G
In fact when I look closer
D Em C D
You don't seem like a person at all
G
Do you have opinions?
D
Do you keep morals?
Em C D
Do you even have a soul?
Em
You're an animal
C D
You're not like me
Em
You're an animal
C D
Oh what a silly thing to be
G D Em C
G D Em C
G D
And when I look at you
Em
Do you know what I see?
D*
I see me
C
I see me
D
'Cause when I look at you
Em
Yeah I can't help but see myself
D C D
Next to you in the tree
G* D
You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess
Em* C*
Because you look quite a bit like me
G* D*
And when I stand to admire you I can't help but confess
Em C D
That your mannerisms fill me with glee
G D
You're partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips
Em C
That I'm sharing with the friend by my side
G D
You peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit
Em C D C
Break it in two and pass half to the friend you're beside
Em
You're an animal (oowaoo)
C
You're just like me (oowaoo)
Em
'Cause I'm an animal (oowaoo)
C D*
We're of the same biology
G D C D
Oh mister monkey man, I've got a favor can't you see
G D C D
I was wondering if you would make a monkey out of me?
