I think I'm sophisticated 'cos Im 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 dont feel safe in this world no more I dont want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man I'm ape apeman 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 mans 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
I'm an ape, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an apeman
I look out my window, but I can 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 apeman
Come and love me, be my apeman girl And we will be so happy in my apeman world
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, Im a voo-doo man I'm an apeman
I'll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day Just like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape apeman, I'm an apeman I'm a king kong man, I'm a voo-doo man I'm an apeman.
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.
