The Kinks - Apeman 1970

The Kinks - Apeman 1970 I think I’m sophisticated cos I’m living my life like a good homosapien But all around me everybodys multiplying Till theyre walking round like flies man So I’m no better than the anI’mals sitting in their cages In the zoo man cos 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 cos I’m a strict vegetarian But with the over-population and inflation and starvation And the crazy politicians I dont feel safe in this world no more I dont 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 ape ape man I’m an ape man Cos 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 In mans 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 cos 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, I’m an ape ape man, I’m an ape man I’m a king kong man, I’m a voo-doo man I’m an ape man I look out my window, but I cant see the sky cos the air pollution is fogging up my eyes I want to get out of this city alive And make like an ape man Come and love me, be my ape man girl And we will 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 voo-doo man I’m an ape man I’ll be your tarzan, you’ll be my jane I’ll keep you warm and youll keep me sane And well 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 voo-doo man I’m an ape man. I dont feel safe in this world no more I dont want to die in a nuclear war I want to sail away to a distant shore And make like an ape man. La la la la la la la.
