I think iand'm sophisticated and'cause iand'm living my life
like a good homo sapiens
but all around me everybodyand's multiplying and
theyand're walking round like flies man
so iand'm no better than the animals sitting
in the cages in the zoo man
cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
i am an apeman.
I think iand'm so educated and iand'm so civilized
and'cause iand'm a strict vegetarian
but with the over-population and inflation and starvation
and the crazy politicians
i donand't feel safe in this world no more,
i donand't want to die in a nuclear war.
i want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman.
Iand'm an apeman, iand'm an ape, apeman, oh iand'm an apeman
iand'm a king kong man, iand'm a voodo man, oh iand'm an apeman
cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,
compared to the clouds as they roll by,
compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies i am an apeman.
In manand's evolution heand's created the city
and the motor traffic rumble.
but give me half a chance and iand'd be taking off my clothes
and living in the jungle.
cause the only time that i feel at ease
is swinging up and down in the coconut trees.
oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.
Iand'm an apeman, iand'm an ape, apeman, oh iand'm an apeman
iand'm a king kong man, iand'm a voodo man, oh iand'm an apeman
i look out the window but i canand't see the sky,
the air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes,
i want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman.
Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl
and weand'll be so happy in my apeman world.
Iand'm an apeman, iand'm an ape, apeman, oh iand'm an apeman
iand'm a king kong man, iand'm a voodo man, oh iand'm an apeman
iand'll be your tarzan, youand'll be my jane,
iand'll keep you warm and youand'll keep me sane,
weand'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman.
Iand'm an apeman, iand'm an ape, apeman, oh iand'm an apeman
iand'm a king kong man, iand'm a voodo man, oh iand'm an apeman
i donand't feel safe in this world no more,
i donand't want to die in a nuclear war.
i want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman
