Am G
I'm not no red football
Am
To be kicked around the garden
E
No no
Am G Am
I'm a red Christmas-tree ball
E
And I'm fragile
Am G
I'm not no animal
Am E
Though I am to you
Am G
I'm not no crocodile
Am
Like the one in Dublin Zoo
[Pre Refrain]
C
Who lived in a cage
G
The length and breadth of his body
Am E Am
with a window which people would look through
C G
And throw coins on his back to taunt him
G
Though he couldn't move
E Am
Even if he wanted to
[Refrain]
Am E Am
I'm not no animal in the zoo
Am E Am
I'm not no whipping boy for you
Am E Am
You may not treat me like you do
Am E Am
I'm not no animal in the zoo
Am E Am
My skin is not a football for you
Am E Am
My head is not a football for you
Am E Am
My body's not a football for you
Am E Am
My womb is not a football for you
Am E Am
My heart is not a football for you
Am E Am
I'm not no animal in the zoo
Am E Am
This animal will jump up and eat you
Am E Am
I'm not no animal in the zoo
Am E
And I've every intention
Am
Of leaping up and getting you
[Outro]
Am E Am
Lalalalalalah lah lah lah lah
Am E Am

Lalalalalalah lah lah lah lah
Am E Am
Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah
Am E Am
Lalalalalalah lah lah lah lah
Am E Am
Lah lah lah lah lah lah lah lah
