Words by Sylvester Stewart, Andy Summers and Zoot Money Music by Sylvester Stewart, Zoot Money and Andy Summers
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(I'm an animal)
(I'm an animal)
(I'm an animal)
(I'm an animal)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(I'm an animal,)
Here to blow your mind
(I'm an animal,)
The English kind
(I'm an animal)
Gonna flip your wig
(I'm an animal)
Behave just like a pig
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Let me be your best friend,
And I won't muck around with you
(I'm an animal)
I'll eat your body and your soul
(I'm an animal)
Tuned to rock and roll
(I'm an animal)
I'm a thoroughbred
(I'm an animal,)
Come to give your head
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(I'm an animal)
A woman is my prey
(I'm an animal)
Eat 'em night and day
(I'm an animal)
I've got to satisfy
(I'm an animal)
I'll be known to lie,I say
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(I'm an animal)
Animal life
(I'm an animal)
Animalism
(I'm an animal)
Human system
Breath, flesh
Flesh and blood
Physique
Strength
Power, vigor, force
Spring elasticity
[heavy breathing begins]
Tone and grace
Animal kingdom
Human, brute, creation
Animal creature
Creature, being, living thing
Dumb animal
Dumb friend
Dumb creature
Brute!
[heavy breathing ceases]
(I'm an animal)
Of the English kind
(I'm an animal,)
Come to blow your mind
(I'm an animal)
Act like a pig
(I'm an animal)
You're gonna flip your wig, I say
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
(Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)
Oh...yeah...
I'm an animal!
I'm an animal!
(Let me be your best friend)
I'm an animal!
(Let me be your best friend)
[repeat above two lines eleven times]
