Standard (EADGBE)

 You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess

 Because you look quite a bit like me

 You're not as eloquent and you've a hairier chest

 But I can't pick my family

 As I shake your hand I can feel your grip

 And it's definitely firmer than mine

 They say a strong handshake shows the man is equipped

 But if I called you a man I'd be crossing a line

 You're an animal

 You're not like me

 You're an animal

 I have dominion over thee

 You might be my cousin

 But I don't know if you could be my friend

 'Cause you don't seem the person on

Which when I'm in need I could depend

 In fact when I look closer

 You don't seem like a person at all

 Do you have opinions?

Do you keep morals?

Do you even have a soul?

 You're an animal

 You're not like me

 You're an animal

 Oh what a silly thing to be

And when I look at you

 Do you know what I see?

 I see me

 I see me

 'Cause when I look at you

 Yeah I can't help but see myself

 Next to you in the tree

 You're my favorite animal, but I'm biased I guess

 Because you look quite a bit like me

 And when I stand to admire you I can't help but confess

 That your mannerisms fill me with glee

 You're partial to bananas, and I'm munching on chips

 That I'm sharing with the friend by my side

 You peel it from the bottom, concentrating as you sit

Break it in two and pass half to the friend you're beside

 You're an animal (oowaoo)

 You're just like me (oowaoo)

 'Cause I'm an animal (oowaoo)

 We're of the same biology

Oh mister monkey man, I've got a favor can't you see

I was wondering if you would make a monkey out of me?
