D Do you keep morals? Em C D Do you even have a soul? Em You're an animal C D You're not like me Em You're an animal C D Oh what a silly thing to be G D Em C G D Em C G D And when I look at you Em Do you know what I see? D* I see me C I see me D 'Cause when I look at you Em Yeah I can't help but see myself D C D Next to you in the tree 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 Em C D That your mannerisms fill me with glee G D You're partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips Em C That I'm sharing with the friend by my side G D You peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit Em C D C Break it in two and pass half to the friend you're beside Em You're an animal (oowaoo) C You're just like me (oowaoo) Em 'Cause I'm an animal (oowaoo) C D* We're of the same biology G D C D Oh mister monkey man, I've got a favor can't you see G D C D I was wondering if you would make a monkey out of me?
