Ape Man

I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life

Like a good Homo sapiens

But all around me everybody'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

'Cause 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

'Cause I'm a strict vegetarian

And 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 wanna die in a nuclear war

I wanna sail away to a distant shore

And make like an ape-man

I'm an ape-man, I'm an ape-, ape-man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

'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 the flies -

I am an ape-man

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 l'll be living in the jungle

'Cause 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-man, I'm an ape-, ape-man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I look out the window, but I can't see the skies

The air pollution is a-fogging up my eyes

I wanna get out of this city alive

And make like an ape-man

Come on and love me

Be my ape-man girl

And we'll be so happy

In my ape-man world

I'm an ape-man, I'm an ape-, ape-man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

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 ape-man

I'm an ape-man, I'm an ape-, ape-man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man

Oh, I'm an ape-man

I don't feel safe in this world no more

I don't wanna die in a nuclear war

I wanna sail away to a distant shore

And make like an ape-man
