I think I'm sophisticated 'Cos I'm living my life Like a good homo sapiens. But all around me ev'rybody's multiplying And they're walking round like flies man: So I'm no better than the animals Sitting in the cages in the zoo man 'Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees I am an apeman.
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilised 'Cos I'm a strict vegetarian. And with the over population And inflation and starvation and the crazy politicans. 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 apeman.
[Chorus:] I'm an apeman I'm an ape-apeman Oh, I'm an apeman. I'm a king-kong man I'm a voodoo man Oh, I'm an apeman.
'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 apeman.
In man's evolution he's created the cities and the motor traffic rumble But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle. 'Cos 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 apeman.
[Chorus]
I look out of the window but I can't see the sky The air polution is a fogging up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an apeman.
Oh, come and love me Be my apeman girl And we'll be so happy In my apeman world.
[Chorus]
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day Just like an apeman.
[Chorus]
I don't feel safe in this world no more Don't want to die in a nuclear war. I want to sail away to a distant shore And make like an apeman.
