G      F7M G
I know why I like you, 
F7M              G
It's cause of your clothing
F7M    G
And your haircut
G (mute)
And 'cause you're racist

G      F7M    G
I have a match, your face
F7M         G
My asking you questions
F7M     G
You can't answer
C
You wanna box me?

Am        Am7M   Am7        Am6
Our world works in mysterious ways
     Am    Am7M     Am7       Am6
They say a man with a beard may frighten
Am          Am7M      Am7      Am6     
Children or dogs, but a mustache scares me more

A      G7M   A
I know why you bite me
G7M              A
It's cause of your instincts
G7M    A
And your canines
A (mute)
And 'cause I kicked you

A      G      A
I have a bone to pick
G                A
Please go on the paper
G               A
And fetch me my slippers
D5 (mute)
And stop meowing

Bm         Bm7M          Bm7      Bm6
Man's best friend wags his tail and bares his 
Bm           Bm7M       Bm7      Bm6
Teeth to the man with the mail and though he's
Bm            Bm7M      Bm7           Bm6     
Frightened of thunder, he never goes to war

B7                       F#m             B7
Tell me what's the circumstance of circumsision
E7                                A7                E7
And what happens in my daughter's pants, is whose descision
B7                     F#m
I've seen the facts, of inter-race relations
B7                     F#m
Of see-through slacks, and cyber-masturbation
E7                                A7
If one hundred monkeys each could have their own show
E7
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
N.C
"You have faith, you just need to use it sayeth the lord"

G      F7M G
I know why I like you, 
F7M              G
It's cause of your sandals
F7M    G
And your supper
G (mute)
And 'cause you're JESUS

G      F7M    G
I have a match; your dad
F7M           G
My dad has your picture
F7M              G
Right next to your mother's
C
And one of Charo

Am        Am7M      Am7    Am6
They hold hands up in heaven and they
Am        Am7M        Am7   Am6
Say their son's name is Kevin but I
Am        Am7M         Am7      Am6     
Read in a book somewhere that his name is
A                    G
