[A] He can't write [B] his name or read a book.
And to fool the people is [E] his only thought.
[B] Though he's slippery, [E] still gets caught.
But [A] then if that [Bm] sort of life is [Dbm] what you wish, [Gb] [B] you may grow [A] up to be a man.
[Gb] And all the monkeys aren't [Ebm] in the zoo.
Every [E] day you meet quite [A] a few.
So [Gb] you see, it's all up [B] to you.
[Eb] [E] You can be better than [A] you are.
