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 (320003@1)           DAs (xx0232@1)I shake your hand I can feel your grip
         Em (022000@1)	    CAnd (x32010@1)it's definitely firmer than mine
            G (320003@1)    		   DThey (xx0232@1)say a strong handshake shows the man is equipped
         Em (022000@1)	   C (x32010@1)    DBut (xx0232@1)if I called you a man I'd be crossing a line

EmYou're (022000@1)an animal
                  C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
You're not like me
          EmYou're (022000@1)an animal
         C (x32010@1)DI (xx0232@1)have dominion over thee

    D (xx0232@1)	             Em (022000@1)  C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
But I don't know if you could be my friend
		  G'Cause (320003@1)you don't seem the person on
D (xx0232@1)		     Em (022000@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C DWhich (xx0232@1)when I'm in need I could depend

GIn (320003@1)fact when I look closer
    D (xx0232@1)	         Em (022000@1)C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
You don't seem like a person at all
	GDo (320003@1)you have opinions?
D (xx0232@1) Do you keep morals?
Em (022000@1)      C (x32010@1)DDo (xx0232@1)you even have a soul?

EmYou're (022000@1)an animal
                C (x32010@1)DYou're (xx0232@1)not like me
           EmYou're (022000@1)an animal
            C (x32010@1)    DOh (xx0232@1)what a silly thing to be

G (320003@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D Em (022000@1)name="chord_x32010@1">C 
G D Em C

G (320003@1)	         D (xx0232@1) And when I look at you

 	     	     D (xx0232@1) C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
Next to you in the tree

G*			    DYou're (xx0232@1)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 (022000@1)      	      C (x32010@1)name="chord_xx0232@1">D
That your mannerisms fill me with glee

G (320003@1)	     DYou're (xx0232@1)partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips 
          Em (022000@1)		   CThat (x32010@1)I'm sharing with the friend by my side
     G (320003@1)	     	     DYou (xx0232@1)peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit
Em (022000@1)	  C (x32010@1)      D (xx0232@1)  CBreak (x32010@1)it in two and pass half to the friend you're beside

EmYou're (022000@1)an animal	(oowaoo)
                  C (x32010@1)   
You're just like me	(oowaoo)
	         Em'Cause (022000@1)I'm an animal	(oowaoo)
 	       C (x32010@1)      D*
