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.
