I think I'm sophisticated

Cos I'm living my life like a good homosapien

But all around me everybody's multiplying

Till they're walking round like flies man

So I'm no better than the animals

Sitting in their cages

In the zoo man

Cos compared to the flowers and

The birds and the trees

I am an ape man

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized

Cos I'm a strict vegetarian

But with the over-population

And inflation and starvation

And the crazy politicians

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore

And make like an ape man

I'm an ape man I'm an ape ape

Man I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man I'm voo-doo man

I'm an ape man

Cos 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 ape man lalalalala

Well in man's evolution he has

Created the cities and

The motor traffic rumble boomboom

But give me half a chance

And I'd be taking off my clothes

And living in the jungle

Because the only time that I feel at ease

Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree

Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

I'm an ape I'm an ape ape

Man I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man I'm a voo-doo man

I'm an ape man

I look out my window but I can't see the sky

Cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive

And make like an ape man lalalalala

Come and love me be my ape man girl

And we will be so happy

In my ape man world

I'm an ape man I'm an ape ape

Man I'm an ape man

I'm a king kong man I'm a voo-doo man

I'm an ape man

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't want to die in a nuclear war

I want to sail away to a distant shore

And make like an ape man

Lalalalala
