| h hammer-on [Verse]
Am                      C
Jumping up and down the floor

   C          Fmaj7
My head is an animal

    Am                    C
And once there was an animal

C                           Fmaj7
It had a son that mowed the lawn

    Am             C
The son was an ok guy

C                    Fmaj7
They had a pet dragonfly

    Am                 C
The dragonfly it ran away

C                                Fmaj7
But it came back with a story to say
[Break]
Am  C    Fmaj7
Hey!

Am  C    Fmaj7
Hey!
[Verse]
    Am                   C
Her dirty paws and furry coat

                        Fmaj7
She ran down the forest slope

    Am                  C
The forest of talking trees

                                          Fmaj7
They used to sing about the birds and the bees

    Am                  C
The bees had declared a war

                                   Fmaj7
The sky wasn't big enough for them all

    Am                         C
The birds they got help from below

                                     Fmaj7
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow
[Instrumental] Am G/B C C Fmaj7 Am G Am G/B C C Fmaj7 Am G [Break]
Am  C    Fmaj7
Hey!

Am  C    Fmaj7
Hey!
[Verse]
    Am                       C
And for a while things were cold

                               Fmaj7
They were scared down in their holes

    Am                   C
The forest that once was green

                                     Fmaj7
Was colored black by those killing machines

    Am                   C
But she and her furry friends

                                Fmaj7
Took down the queen bee and her men

    Am                    C
And that's how the story goes

                                             Fmaj7
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
