Apeman lyrics
by Kinks
I think I'm sophisticated
'Cause I'm living my life like a good homosapien
But all around me everybody's multiplying
'Till 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 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 wanna sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman
Lalala...
'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
In man's evolution he has created the cities
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 apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman
Lalala...
I look out the window, but I can't see the sky
The air pollution is fogging up my eyes
I wanna get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman
Come and love me, be my apeman girl
And we'll be so happy in my apeman world
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, I'm an apeman
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 apeman
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman
Oh, I'm an apeman
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man
Oh, 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 wanna sail away to a distant shore
And make like an apeman
Lalala…
