G5      F5 G5
I know why I like you, 
F5              G5
It's cause of your clothing
F5    G5
And your haircut
G5 (mute)
And 'cause you're racist

G5      F5    G5
I have a match, your face
F5         G5
My asking you questions
F5     G5
You can't answer
C5
You wanna box me?

A5        Am7M   A5        A5
Our world works in mysterious ways
     A5    Am7M     A5       A5
They say a man with a beard may frighten
A5          Am7M      A5      A5     
Children or dogs, but a mustache scares me more

A5      G5   A5
I know why you bite me
G5              A5
It's cause of your instincts
G5    A5
And your canines
A5 (mute)
And 'cause I kicked you

A5      G5      A5
I have a bone to pick
G5                A5
Please go on the paper
G5               A5
And fetch me my slippers
D5 (mute)
And stop meowing

B5         Bm7M          B5      B5
Man's best friend wags his tail and bares his 
B5           Bm7M       B5      B5
Teeth to the man with the mail and though he's
B5            Bm7M      B5           B5     
Frightened of thunder, he never goes to war

B5                       F#5             B5
Tell me what's the circumstance of circumsision
E5                                A5                E5
And what happens in my daughter's pants, is whose descision
B5                     F#5
I've seen the facts, of inter-race relations
B5                     F#5
Of see-through slacks, and cyber-masturbation
E5                                A5
If one hundred monkeys each could have their own show
E5
Perhaps one day a chimp might say
N.C5
"You have faith, you just need to use it sayeth the lord"

G5      F5 G5
I know why I like you, 
F5              G5
It's cause of your sandals
F5    G5
And your supper
G5 (mute)
And 'cause you're JESUS

G5      F5    G5
I have a match; your dad
F5           G5
My dad has your picture
F5              G5
Right next to your mother's
C5
And one of Charo

A5        Am7M      A5    A5
They hold hands up in heaven and they
A5        Am7M        A5   A5
Say their son's name is Kevin but I
A5        Am7M         A5      A5     
Read in a book somewhere that his name is
A5                    G5
