Lyrics

[ti:apeman]
[ar:the kinks]
[00:12.556] I think i'm sophisticated
[00:17.57] 'cos i'm living my life like a good homosapien
[00:22.258] But all around me everybody's multiplying
[00:25.458] Till they're walking round like flies man
[00:27.909] So i'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages
[00:32.559] In the zoo man
[00:34.759] 'cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
[00:38.409] I am an ape man
[00:41.59] I think i'm so educated and i'm so civilized
[00:43.309] 'cos i'm a strict vegetarian
[00:47.260] But with the over-population and inflation and starvation
[00:50.109] And the crazy politicians
[00:53.820] I don't feel safe in this world no more
[00:57.220] I don't want to die in a nuclear war
[01:00.70] I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
[01:06.371] I'm an ape man,i'm an ape ape man
[01:09.721] I'm an ape man i'm a king kong man i'm ape ape man
[01:15.821] I'm an ape man
[01:19.374] 'cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
[01:22.473] Compared to the clouds as they roll by
[01:25.725] Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
[01:29.27] I am an ape man
[01:39.228] In man's evolution he has created the cities and
[01:43.228] The motor traffic rumble,but give me half a chance
[01:47.548] And i'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
[01:51.247] 'cos the only time that i feel at ease
[01:54.349] Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
[01:57.549] Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
[02:04.09] I'm an ape,i'm an ape ape man,i'm an ape man
[02:08.960] I'm a king kong man,i'm a voo-doo man
[02:12.860] I'm an ape man
[02:16.11] I look out my window,but i can't see the sky
[02:19.611] 'cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes
[02:22.811] I want to get out of this city alive
[02:25.661] And make like an ape man
[02:34.511] Come and love me,be my ape man girl
[02:39.813] And we will be so happy in my ape man world
[02:51.65] I'm an ape man,i'm an ape ape man,i'm an ape man
[02:56.416] I'm a king kong man,i'm a voo-doo man
[03:00.16] I'm an ape man
[03:03.16] I'll be your tarzan,you'll be my jane
[03:06.666] I'll keep you warm and you'll keep me sane
[03:09.916] And we'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
[03:12.867] Just like an ape man
[03:15.867] I'm an ape man,i'm an ape ape man,i'm an ape man
[03:20.867] I'm a king kong man,i'm a voo-doo man
[03:24.967] I'm an ape man.
[03:28.368] I don't feel safe in this world no more
[03:31.468] I don't want to die in a nuclear war
[03:34.818] I want to sail away to a distant shore
[03:38.18] And make like an ape man
