Kinks - Apeman Lyrics
I think Im sophisticatedcos Im living my life like a good homosapienBut all around me everybodys multiplyingTill theyre walking round like flies manSo Im no better than the animals sitting in their cagesIn the zoo mancos compared to the flowers and the birds and the treesI am an ape manI think Im so educated and Im so civilizedcos Im a strict vegetarianBut with the over-population and inflation and starvationAnd the crazy politiciansI dont feel safe in this world no moreI dont want to die in a nuclear warI want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape manIm an ape man, Im an ape ape manIm an ape man Im a king kong man Im ape ape manIm an ape mancos compared to the sun that sits in the skyCompared to the clouds as they roll byCompared to the bugs and the spiders and fliesI am an ape manIn mans evolution he has created the cities andThe motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chanceAnd Id be taking off my clothes and living in the junglecos the only time that I feel at easeIs swinging up and down in a coconut treeOh what a life of luxury to be like an ape manIm an ape, Im an ape ape man, Im an ape manIm a king kong man, Im a voo-doo manIm an ape manI look out my window, but I cant see the skycos the air pollution is fogging up my eyesI want to get out of this city aliveAnd make like an ape manCome and love me, be my ape man girlAnd we will be so happy in my ape man worldIm an ape man, Im an ape ape man, Im an ape manIm a king kong man, Im a voo-doo manIm an ape manIll be your tarzan, youll be my janeIll keep you warm and youll keep me saneAnd well sit in the trees and eat bananas all dayJust like an ape manIm an ape man, Im an ape ape man, Im an ape manIm a king kong man, Im a voo-doo manIm an ape man.I dont feel safe in this world no moreI dont want to die in a nuclear warI want to sail away to a distant shoreAnd make like an ape man.
