It looked like an or-din-a-ry dog 

 6  -5  5  5   5    5  -4   4 -4  5
on the day it was pres-ent-ed to me

 5   -6  -6   7   -6  7 -6 -6  6  
but then it start-ed to de-ve-lop 

-5   5   5  5   5   -4  4
the most a-maz-ing feat-ures

 -4   5   5   5  5   6  -5  6  5
that you are ev-er like-ly to see

it looks like a-part of a gor-il-la
