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
As I sh[G]ake your hand I can f[D]eel your grip
And it's [Em]definitely firmer than mine[C]
They say a s[G]trong handshake shows the man i[D]s equipped
But if I [Em]called you a man I'd be cr[C]ossing a l[D]ine
You're an [Em]animal
You're not like me[C] [D]
You're an [Em]animal
I have do[C]minion over the[D]e
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
You might [G]be my cousin
But [D]I don't know if you could be my f[Em]riend[C] [D]
'Cause you don't s[G]eem the person on
[D]Which when I'm in need I could depend[Em] [C] [D]
In fact when I[G] look closer
You [D]don't seem like a person at a[Em]ll[C] [D]
Do you h[G]ave opinions?
[D] Do you keep morals?
[Em]Do you even have a sou[C]l?[D]
You're an [Em]animal
You're not like [C]me[D]
You're an a[Em]nimal
Oh what a si[C]lly thing to be[D]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] [D] [Em] [C]
[G] And when I look at you[D]
Do you know what I see?[Em]
D*
I see me
I see [C]me
'Cause when I look at you[D]
Yeah I can't help but see myself[Em]
Next to you in the tr[D]ee[C] [D]
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
That your m[Em]annerisms fill me with glee[C] [D]
You're p[G]artial to bananas, and I'm mu[D]nching on chips
That I'm s[Em]haring with the friend by my side[C]
You p[G]eel it from the bottom, concentr[D]ating as you sit
[Em]Break it in two and pass h[C]alf to the fr[D]iend you're beside[C]
You're an a[Em]nimal (oowaoo)
You're just like m[C]e (oowaoo)
'Cause I'm an ani[Em]mal (oowaoo)
C D*
We're of the same biology
[G]Oh mister monkey man, [D]I've got a favor can't you s[C]ee[D]
[G]I was wondering if y[D]ou would make a monkey out of m[C]e?[D]
