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
GD
As I shake your hand I can feel your grip
EmC
And it's definitely firmer than mine
GD
They say a strong handshake shows the man is equipped
EmCD
But if I called you a man I'd be crossing a line
Em
You're an animal
D
You're not like me
Em
You're an animal
CD
I have dominion over thee
GDECGDECG
You might be my cousin
DEmD
But I don't know if you could be my friend
G
'Cause you don't seem the person on
DDm
Which when I'm in need I could depend
G
In fact when I look closer
DEmD
You don't seem like a person at all
G
Do you have opinions?
D
Do you keep morals?
EmCD
Do you even have a soul?
Em
You're an animal
CD
You're not like me
Em
You're an animal
CD
Oh what a silly thing to be
GDECGDECGD
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
DD
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
EmD
That your mannerisms fill me with glee
GD
You're partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips
EmC
That I'm sharing with the friend by my side
GD
You peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit
EmCDC
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
GDCD
Oh mister monkey man, I've got a favor can't you see
GDCD
I was wondering if you would make a monkey out of me?
