Verse 1:
 Eb MajorEb
I wish I were a bird
   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb        AbAb       Eb MajorEb
'Cause if I were a bird then I could take wing high above you
      F minorFm          Bb majorBb
You could watch my white wings flap
       DbDb        AbAb    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
And I could take a great big crap on anyone who tried to hurt you
     Cm7Cm7      Eb MajorEb
But then I'd have to desert you
     FF       AbAb
Flying southward in the fall...
  F minorFm      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
I don't want to be a bird after all

Verse 2:
  Eb MajorEb
I wish I were a dog
   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb        AbAb       Eb MajorEb
'Cause if I were a dog then I'd do tricks to show I love you
    F minorFm          Bb majorBb
I could run and fetch the stick
       DbDb        AbAb    Eb MajorEb        Bb majorBb
And I could sit right down and lick my privates when your Mom came over
   Cm7Cm7      Eb MajorEb
But if I was your Rover
     FF    AbAb
You'd have my testicles recalled...
 F minorFm      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
I don't want to be a dog after all

Chorous:
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai

Verse 3:
 Eb MajorEb
I wish I were a deer
   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb        AbAb       Eb MajorEb
'Cause if I were a deer then we could play out in the forest
    F minorFm       Bb majorBb
'Til you shot me by mistake
        DbDb       AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Then you would carve me into steak with a touch so sweet and gentle
    Cm7Cm7      Eb MajorEb
Keep my head as a memento
    FF        AbAb
Hangin' in the upstairs hall...
  F minorFm      Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb  Eb MajorEb
I don't want to be a deer after all

Verse 4:
 Eb MajorEb
I wish I were a monkey
   Bb majorBb       Eb MajorEb        AbAb       Eb MajorEb
'Cause if I were a monkey, I could be your furry jester
    F minorFm       Bb majorBb
And whenever you were blue
       DbDb       AbAb       Eb MajorEb      Bb majorBb
You'd come and see me at the zoo; my antics would be reassurin'
       Cm7Cm7      Eb MajorEb
But I would always reek of urine
        FF      AbAb
And throw my feces at the wall...
 F minorFm      Eb MajorEb
I don't want to be a monkey
  F minorFm      Eb MajorEb
I don't want to be a monkey

No, I don't wanna be no monkey after all

Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb     Eb MajorEb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
    AbAb     Eb MajorEb     Bb majorBb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
