Eb
I wish I were a bird
Bb Eb Ab Eb
'Cause if I were a bird then I could take wing high above you
Fm Bb
You could watch my white wings flap
Db Ab Eb Bb
And I could take a great big crap on anyone who tried to hurt you
Cm7 Eb
But then I'd have to desert you
F Ab
Flying southward in the fall...
Fm Eb Bb Eb
I don't want to be a bird after all
[Verse 2]
Eb
I wish I were a dog
Bb Eb Ab Eb
'Cause if I were a dog then I'd do tricks to show I love you
Fm Bb
I could run and fetch the stick
Db Ab Eb Bb
And I could sit right down and lick my privates when your Mom came over
Cm7 Eb
But if I was your Rover
F Ab
You'd have my testicles recalled...
Fm Eb Bb Eb
I don't want to be a dog after all
[Chorous]

Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
[Verse 3]
Eb
I wish I were a deer
Bb Eb Ab Eb
'Cause if I were a deer then we could play out in the forest
Fm Bb
'Til you shot me by mistake

Then you would carve me into steak with a touch so sweet and gentle
Cm7 Eb
Keep my head as a memento
F Ab
Hangin' in the upstairs hall...
Fm Eb Bb Eb
I don't want to be a deer after all
[Verse 4]
Eb
I wish I were a monkey
Bb Eb Ab Eb
'Cause if I were a monkey, I could be your furry jester
Fm Bb
And whenever you were blue
Db Ab Eb Bb
You'd come and see me at the zoo; my antics would be reassurin'
Cm7 Eb
But I would always reek of urine
F Ab
And throw my feces at the wall...
Fm Eb
I don't want to be a monkey
Fm Eb
I don't want to be a monkey
Fm Eb Bb Eb
No, I don't wanna be no monkey after all

Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
Ab Eb Bb Eb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
Ab Eb Bb
Lai da dai, lai da dai, lai da dai
