What if I was a monkey?
And I was always climbing trees?
Swinging round from vine to vine and picking off my fleas
Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?
If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?
And if I was an aardvark
Always sniffing on the ground
Looking for the tasty ants running up and down
Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?
If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?
What if I were different?
Would it make a difference?
What if I were different?
Would you, could you, would you still like me?
What if was a penguin?
I would eat fish raw
I wouldn’t wear a hat or coat in the winter or fall
Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?
If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?
What if I were different?
Would it make a difference?
What if I were different?
Would you, could you, would you still like me?
And if I was a wise old owl
I would say whoo-whoo
I’d sleep all day and stay up all night looking for my food
Would you want to hug me or would you take me to the zoo?
If I were different would you still like me and let me play with you?
What if I were different, would you still like me?
