Another Timely Song by The Kinks

I think I'm so sophisticated, 'cause I'm living my
life like a good homo sapien

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 the 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

And 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
Oh, I'm an apeman

I'm a king-kong man
I'm a voodoo man
Oh, 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.

La la la la...

In man's evolution he's 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 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 look out the window,
but I can't see the sky

The air pollution is
a-fogging up my eyes

I want to get out of this city alive
And make like an apeman

Come on and love me -
Be my apeman girl
And we'd 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 a
nd 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 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 want to sail away to a distant shore,
and make like an apeman
