Lyrics

I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homo sapien
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 their cages in the zoo, man
'Cause compared to the flowers and the birds in the trees
I am an apeman
I think I'm so educated
And I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian
With the over-population and the pressure 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
Yeah, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman
'Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the birds and the spiders and flies
I am an apeman
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
In man's evolution
He's created the city and the motor traffic rumble
But give me half a chance
And I'll 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
Yeah, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman
I look out the window but I can't see the sky
The air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
Come on and love me
Be my apeman girl
And we'd be so happy
In my apeman world
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Yeah, 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
Yeah, 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
La-la-la-la-la-la-la
