The Kinks - Apeman lyrics
[The Kinks - Apeman lyrics]
'Cause, I'm living my life
Like a good homosapien
But all around me everybody's multiplying
'Til they're walking round like flies man
So I'm no better than the
Animals sitting in their cages
In the zoo man
'Cause 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
'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 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 voodoo man i'm an ape man
'Cause compared to the sun that
Sit's 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 city and
The motor traffic rumble
But give me half a chance
And I'd be taking off my clothes
And living in the jungle"
'Cause 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 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
'Cause the air pollution is
A-fogging up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an ape man
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'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 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
