	I think I'm sophisticated 'cause I'm living my life just like a	good homo sapiens.

	A	E
But	all around me everybody's multiplying and they're	walking round like flies man.

	D	A
So	I'm no better than the animals sitting in the	cages in the zoo man.

	E	A
Cause 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 'cause 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.

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

	A	E
	In man's evolution he's created the city and the	motor traffic rumble.

	A	E
But	give me half a chance and I'd be taking off my clothes and	living in the jungle.

	D	A
'Cause the	only time that I feel at ease Is	swinging up and down in the coconut trees.

	E	A
Oh what a life of luxury to	be like an ape	man.

	A	E	A	E	A
	Oh come on and	love me, be my apeman	girl, And we'll be so	happy in my apeman	world.
