I think I'm sophisticated because 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 their cages in the zoo, man,
because compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees, man, I am an ape man
think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized because I'm a straight vegetaran
but with the overpopulation 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 a voodoo man, I'm an ape man
because 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
yo do dee oh, la, la , la, la, la, lee, la
Well, 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
because the only time I feel at ease is swinging up and down in the coconut tree
oh, what a life of luxury, to be 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 voodoo man, I'm an ape man
I look out the window but I can't see the sky
the air pollution is screwing up my eyes,
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man
yo do dee oh, la, la , la, la, la, lee, la
come on and love me, be my ape man girl
and we'll 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 voodoo 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
