I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life like a good homo sapiens
C G
But all around me everybody's multiplying and they're walking round like flies man
F C
So I'm no better than the animals sitting in the cages in the zoo man
C
Cause compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees

C
Compared to the clouds as they roll by,
F G C
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies I am an ape-man.
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 the coconut trees.
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an apeman.
