Verse

               
The horse, Is a noble Beast,
         
From the mustang from the west,
                    
To the Stallion to the east.

                            
But the horse has a distant cousin,
                     
It lives i do not know where,
                         
But its message of racial harmony,
    /                   (hammer on 3rd fret on the 
when playing )
Is one that we all can share.


Chorus

              ( optianal)
Hats off to the zebra,
              
He is black and white,
                        /            
He doesnt fight because there not very good at it.

                
In a world of confusion,
           
We all need a sign
                   
If only we could live side by side,
           /            
like the stripes on a zebras spine.

              
Hat's off to the Zebras,


The humble badger,
       
Takes a sip of mornin' dew
        
But he's totally colour blind,
              
So he cant judge you.
                    
But the badger is a dreamer
               
The badger has a plan
                         /            
He knows that his destiny is to help his fellow man.

Chorus

N..            
Hats of to the badgers,
                  
They are black and white
             
and they dont fight,
            /                 
except for mating rights and territory.


                  
Black man and a white man,
                
Both they need to shave,
         
United by the badger brush
     /                 
Hes helping from beyond the grave.
                 
Hats off to the badger
                 
What about the tapir
             
half zebra half pig-a
       
imagine the 'stig-ma
                   
but the tapir stands proud
                   
hats off to the tapir.

         
Badgers and zebras,
        
Skunks.. Oh yeah,
            
And ring tailed lemurs
      
Living together
  /
In harmony
               (strum)
And if the.. Killer whales can do it,
   (repeat intro)
why cant we.

Thats it...
