Lyrics

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 apeman

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

'Cause 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 apeman

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

Compared to the sun that sits in the sky

Compared to the clouds when they roll by

Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies

I am an apeman

Na-na-na-na-na-na

In man's evolution, he's created the city

And the motor traffic rumble

But give me half a chance, and I'd be taking off my clothes

And living in the jungle

'Cause the only time that I feel at ease

Is swinging up and down in the coconut trees

Oh, what a life of luxury

To be like an apeman

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

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

The air pollution is fogging up my eyes

I wanna get out of this city alive

And make like an apeman

Na-na-na-na-na-na

Oh, come on and love me

Be my apeman girl

And we'll be so happy

In my apeman world

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

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

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

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

Na-na-na-na-na-na
