A Song About Monkeys

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?
