And then step on your back given the chance
                 G

I'd rather be all hands and knees
          Am        G               F
Yeah, I'd rather be swinging in the trees
With the monkeys and the junkies and bums and sloths and jailbird canaries
                     G
Yeah that's me I'm a bipedal backpedaler from sea to shining sea
