The Kinks – Apeman

The Kinks – Apeman Lyrics

Artist: The Kinks
Song: Apeman

I think I’m sophisticated ’cause I’m living my life
Like a good h#mo sapiens
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
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
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

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
Oh come on and love me, be my apeman girl

And we’ll 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, 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
