[Verse 1]

 -6   -6 -6 -6   -6   6    7
Jump-ing up and down the floor

-8  8    7  7 -8 -8  -7
My head, is an a-ni-mal

 6  -6    -6   -6  -6 -6 6  7
And once there was an a-ni-mal

-6  7 -8  8   7    -8   -8   -7
It had a son that mowed the lawn

-6  -6  -6  -6 -6 6   7
The son was an o-kay guy

-6    7 -8  8  -8  -8  -7
They had a pet dra-gon-fly

 -6  -6 -6  -6   -6  -6 6  7
The dra-gon-fly, it ran a-way

 6  7   -8   8     7  7  -8 -8 -8  -6 
But it came back with a sto-ry to say

[Verse 2]

 -6  -6 -6 -6   -6   6  6   7
Her dir-ty paws and fu-rry coat

 7  -8   8    7  -8 -8    -7
She ran down the fo-rest slopes

-6  -6  -6  -6  -6  6    7
The for-est of tal-king trees

 6    7   -8   8  7  7    7   -8   -8  -8   -6
They used to sing a-bout the birds and the bees

 -6  -6  -6  -6   -6   6  7
The bees had de-clared a war

 6   7   7  -8   8  7  -8   -8   -8  -6 
The sky was-n't big e-nough for them all

 6   -6     -6  -6   -6   6   6   7
The birds, they got help from be-low

 6    7  -8  8    7   7   -8   -8   8  -6 
From dir-ty paws and the crea-tures of snow

[Refrain]

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10 9  -8
La la la, la

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10 9  -8
La la la, la

[Instrumental]

[Verse 3]

-6 -6 -6      -6    -5    6
For a while, things were cold

 7    -8     8     7 -8   -8    -6
They were scared down in their holes

-6  -6 -6   -6   -6   6    7
The fo-rest that once was green

 6   7  -8     8    7  7    -8  -8   -8  -6 
Was co-lored black by those ki-lling ma-chines

 6  -6  -6  -6  -6  6    7
But she and her fu-rry friends

 6    7   -8    8    7  -8  -8  -6
Took down the queen bee and her men

 6  -6     -6  -6  -6  6   7
And that's how the sto-ry goes

 6    7   7  -8   8     8     8     9   9 -10  -6
The story of the beast with those four dir-ty paws

[Refrain]

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10  9  -8
La la la, la

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10  9  -8
La la la, la

[Refrain]

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10  9  -8
La la la, la

7  -8 8
La la la

9  -10  9  -8
La la la, la
Play on a harmonica— watch which holes to blow & draw, with sound
