A5 E5 E5 E5
I think I'm sophisticated cos I'm living my life like a good Homosapien
A5
But all around me everybody's multiplying
E5 E5 E5
Till they're walkin' round like flies man
D5 A5 A5 A5
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in their cages in the zoo man
E5 A5
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 don't feel safe in this world no more
I don't want to die in a nuclear war RIFF 1
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
CHORUS #1:
A5 E5
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
A5 E5
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man
D5
Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
A5
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
E5 A5
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an ape man
D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 A5 A5 D5 E5 A5 riff 1
La la la la la, la la
BRIDGE:
A5 E5
In man's evolution he has created the cities and the motor traffic rumble
A5 E5
But give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle
D5 A5
Cos the only time that I feel at ease is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
E5 A5 Riff 1
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
CHORUS #2:
I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man
I look out my window, but I can't see the sky
The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man
D5 D5 D5 D5 D5 A5 A5 D5 E5 A5
La la la la la, la la
E5 (riff 2) A5 (riff 3)
Ah come and love me, be my ape man girl
E5 (riff 2) A5 riff 4 riff 1
And we will be so happy in my ape man world
CHORUS #3:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh 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
We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
Just like an ape man RIFF 1
CHORUS #4:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh 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
