 Cm                      D#
Jumping up and down the floor
   D#          G#maj7
My head is an animal
    Cm                   D#
And once there was an animal
D#                           G#maj7
It had a son that mowed the lawn

    Cm             D#
The son was an ok guy
D#                    G#maj7
They had a pet dragonfly
    Cm                 D#
The dragonfly it ran away
D#                                G#maj7
But it came back with a story to say

Cm  D# G#maj7
Hey!
Cm  D# G#maj7
Hey!

Her dirty paws and furry coat
She ran down the forest slopes
The forest of talking trees
They used to sing about the birds and the bees

The bees had declared a war
The sky wasn't big enough for them all
The birds, they got help from below
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow

Cm  D# G#maj7
Hey!
Cm  D# G#maj7
Hey!

So for a while, things were cold
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines

But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men
And that's how the story goes
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws

La la la
La la la, la
La la la
La la la, la

La la la
La la la, la
La la la
La la la, la
