[Intro]
Em A Em A Em A Em A
[Verse 1]
Em A Now I wish I was a dog Em A Lazin' about all day Em A With a bark so loud and fierce Em A F#m F To keep the cats away, away
[Chorus 1]
B E A But a man's a man D F And a dog's a slave Am A D G D So a man I would rather be
[Verse 2]
Em A Now I wish I was a book Em A Upon a dusty shelf Em A With a millions of words to read Em A F#m F Lord, but I can't even read myself, myself
[Chorus 2]
B E A But a man's a man D F And a book can't think Am A D G D So a man I would rather be
[Verse 3]
Em A Now I wish I was a brick Em A In the middle of a wall Em A With a plastic coat and hat Em A F#m F I would have no cares at all, at all
[Chorus 3]
B E A But a man's a man D F And a brick won't talk Am A D G D So a man I would rather be
[Verse 4]
Em A Now I wish I was a fly Em A A buzzin' around and around Em A Racin' through the air Em A F#m F With no spiders to be found, be found
[Chorus 4]
B E A But a man's a man D F And a fly gets squashed Am A D G D So a man I would rather be
