C G

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

F G C

I am an apeman.

C G

I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian

C G

But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians

F

I don't feel safe in this world no more,

C

I don't want to die in a nuclear war.

F G C

I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man.

CHORUS

C G

I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman

C G

I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodo man, oh I'm an apeman

F

Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky,

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.

CHORUS

C G I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized 'cause I'm a strict vegetarian C G But with the over-population and inflation and starvation and the crazy politicians F I don't feel safe in this world no more, C I don't want to die in a nuclear war. F G C I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man.

CHORUS:C G I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman C G I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodo man, oh I'm an apeman F Cause compared to the sun that sits in the sky, 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.

BRIDGE: F C Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl F C And we'll be so happy in my apeman world.

REPEAT CHORUS I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodo 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, We'll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day, just like an apeman.
