[Verse 1]
D         D/A
 Glass of milk
Em        Em/D       C                 C/G
 Standing in between extinction in the cold
      A            A/C# [ D ]
And explosive radiating  growth

[Bridge]
D  G        D          G
     So the warm blood flows
            D          G         E7
Through the large four-chambered heart

[Pre-Chorus]
G    D/F#        Em   Bm   Bm/A G        D/F#      A
 Maintaining the very high me---tabolism rate they have

[Chorus]
G  A    G/B A/C#
Mammal, mammal
D                Em
 Their names are called
G             A    
 They raise a paw
    G/B      A/C#
The bat, the cat
D            Em
 Dolphin and dog
  G            A 
Koala bear and hog

[Interlude]
| G D/F# | Em   Bm Bm/A | G D/F# | A |

 One of us might lose his hair
C  C/G           A                     A/C# D       D/A
      But you're reminded that it once was  there
Em        Em/D      C    C/G       A           A/C# [ D ]
 From the embryonic whale   to the monkey with no    tail

[Bridge]
D  G        D          G
     So the warm blood flows
         D         G             D    G
With the red blood cells lacking nuclei
            D          G         E7
Through the large four-chambered heart

[Pre-Chorus]
G    D/F#        Em   Bm   Bm/A G        D/F#      A
 Maintaining the very high me---tabolism rate they have

Koala bear and hog

 Their cousin called Monotreme, dead uncle Allotheria
