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

Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai

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
      F minorFm         Eb MajorEb            Bb majorBb   Eb MajorEb
No, I don't wanna be no monkey 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
