0You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess
             Em2                   C3
1Because you look quite a bit like me
             G4                       D5
2You're not as eloquent and you've a hairier chest
      Em6                 C7  D8
3But I can't pick my family

       G	            D9
6As I shake your hand I can feel your grip
         Em			    C10
7And it's definitely firmer than mine
            G		    		   D11
8They say a strong handshake shows the man is equipped
         Em			   C	     D12
9But if I called you a man I'd be crossing a line

          Em13

20You might be my cousin
    D			             Em	   C26 D27
21But I don't know if you could be my friend
		  G28
22'Cause you don't seem the person on
D				     Em	C29 D30
23Which when I'm in need I could depend
24
25
              G31
26In fact when I look closer
    D			         Em32  C33 D34
27You don't seem like a person at all
	G35
28Do you have opinions?
D36
29  Do you keep morals?
Em		      C	 D37
30Do you even have a soul?

	 G61 			    D62
49You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess
             Em63 		  C64
50Because you look quite a bit like me
             G65 			   D66
51And when I stand to admire you I can't help but confess
           Em		      	      C67 D68
52That your mannerisms fill me with glee
53
54
 	G			     D69
55You're partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips
          Em				   C70
56That I'm sharing with the friend by my side
     G			     	     D71
57You peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit
Em			  C	       D		  C72
58Break it in two and pass half to the friend you're beside

 	   Em73

                  C74

	         Em75
63'Cause I'm an animal	- oowaoo -
 	       C76        D77

G		      D				  C78  D79
67Oh mister monkey man, I've got a favor can't you see
G		    D				   C80  D81
68I was wondering if you would make a monkey out of me?
