[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]

[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
