It had a son that mowed the lawn

F7M
   
Hey!

    
Am
                   
C
 
Her dirty paws and furry coat
                        
F7M
   
She ran down the forest slope
    
Am
                  
C
 
The forest of talking trees
                                          
F7M
   
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
    
Am
                  
C
 
The bees had declared a war
                                   
F7M
   
The sky wasn't big enough for them all
    
Am
                         
C
 
The birds they got help from below

From dirty paws and the creatures of snow

And for a while things were cold
                               
F7M
   
They were scared down in their holes
    
Am
                   
C
 
The forest that once was green
                                     
F7M
   
Was colored black by those killing machines
    
Am
                   
C
 
But she and her furry friends
                                
F7M
   
Took down the queen bee and her men
    
Am
                    
C
 
And that's how the story goes

The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
