Children or dogs, but a mustache scares me more

And what happens in my daughter's pants, is whose descision
B7                     F#m
I've seen the facts, of inter-race relations
B7                     F#m
Of see-through slacks, and cyber-masturbation
E7                                A7
If one hundred monkeys each could have their own show

Perhaps one day a chimp might say
