Put your hand down, boy

Welcome to my zoo
Abm             Gb
Put your head inside

My big black wild, while

I can still help you

See the snake-baboon

Funky, chic and smooth

Honey, can you spy
                 B
The divine apes-swine
                  Abm
'Cause he can see you
 
Chorus:

I'm a man, I'm a twisted fool

My hands are twisted too
Abm           Gb        B   Abm
Five fingers, two black hooves
      Abm             Gb
I'm a man, don't spin me a lie
B            Abm
Got toes and I can smile
Abm         Gb    B  Abm
I'm crooked but upright
 
Bridge:

And all I ever want
   B             Abm
Is just a little love
  Abm      Gb             B  Abm
I said in purrs under the palms
    Abm         Gb
And all I ever want
   B            Abm
Is breaking me apart
  Abm          Gb               B  Abm
I said to the thing that I once was

Got toes and I can smile

I'm crooked but upright
 
Verse 3:
Abm               Gb
To the left now, boy
B              Abm
Underneath the moon
Abm              Gb
By the thick tan sand
                  B
And the tall thin grass
                   Abm
One more thing for you
 
Verse 4:
Abm              Gb
See the distant flume
B             Abm
In the sleepy dunes
Abm                    Gb
Makes my nerves clench close
                 B
And my bones go cold
                 Abm
When I see that room
 
Bridge:

I said in purrs under the palms

And all I ever want
   B            Abm
Is breaking me apart
 
Chorus:

Got toes and I can smile
