DIf I could be anything
Gin the world that flew
DI would be a bat and come
Gswooping after you
DAnd if the last time you were here
Gthings were a bit askew
Well, you Ebknow what hapBbpens after darFk
When rattlEbesnakes lose their sBbkins and their heFarts
And all thEbe missionaries Bblose their Fbark
COh, all the trees are cFalling after Gyou
CAnd all the venom sFnipers after Gyou
CAre all the mountains Fboulder after Gyou
DIf I could be any one of the things 
Gin this world that bite
DInstead of a dentured ocelot on a leash
GI'd rather be a kite
DBe tied to the end of your string
Gflying in the air, babe, at night
'Cause you Ebknow what they Bbsay about honey Fbears
When you Ebshave off Bball their baby Fhair
EbYou have a hairy Bbminded pink bare Fbear
And Call the bells are Frolling out for Gyou
And Call the stones are eruFpting out for Gyou
And Call the cheap luck sucFkers are flyinGg after you
DYesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff
Gwere grooving on the street
DAnd just like in a movie
Gher hands became her feet
DHer belly button was her mouth
Gwhich meant she tasted what she'd speak
But the Ebfunny thing is what Bbhappened to her Fnose
It Ebgrew until Bbit reached all of her Ftoes
Now, when Ebpeople say her fBbeet smell, they mean her Fnose

Chords in this song · guitar

If I could be anything

in the world that flew

I would be a bat and come

swooping after you

And if the last time you were here

things were a bit askew

Eb Bb F

Well, you know what happens after dark

Eb Bb F

When rattlesnakes lose their skins and their hearts

Eb Bb F

And all the missionaries lose their bark

C F G

Oh, all the trees are calling after you

C F G

And all the venom snipers after you

C F G

Are all the mountains boulder after you

If I could be any one of the things

in this world that bite

Instead of a dentured ocelot on a leash

I'd rather be a kite

Be tied to the end of your string

flying in the air, babe, at night

Eb Bb F

'Cause you know what they say about honey bears

Eb Bb F

When you shave off all their baby hair

Eb Bb F

You have a hairy minded pink bare bear

C F G

And all the bells are rolling out for you

C F G

And all the stones are erupting out for you

C F G

And all the cheap luck suckers are flying after you

Yesterday, Daisy Mae and Biff

were grooving on the street

And just like in a movie

her hands became her feet

Her belly button was her mouth

which meant she tasted what she'd speak

Eb Bb F

But the funny thing is what happened to her nose

Eb Bb F

It grew until it reached all of her toes

Eb Bb F

Now, when people say her feet smell, they mean her nose

C F G

And all the curtains laced with diamonds for you

C F G

And all the Roman noblemen for you

C F G

And kingdom's Christian sailors, dear for you

C F G

And melting ice cap mountain tops for you

C F G

And knights in flaming silver robes for you

C F G

And bats that with a kiss turn prince for you

C F G

Swoop, swoop, rock, rock

C F G

Swoop, swoop, rock, rock
