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 ape ape 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
In man's evolution
he has 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 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
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'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 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 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
