Lyrics I think I’m sophisticated ’Cause I’m living my life like a good homosapien 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 I am an Apeman I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized ’Cause 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 Apeman I’m an Apeman, I’m an Ape Apeman No, I’m an Apeman Well, I’m a King Kong man, I’m a Voo-Doo man No, 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 bugs and the spiders and flies I am an Apeman I’m an Apeman, I’m an Ape Apeman No, I’m an Apeman Well, I’m a King Kong man, I’m a Voo-Doo man No, 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
