APEMAN- The Kinks
D D D D D A A D E A
AI think I'm sophisticated cos I'm living my life like a good HomEosapienEsus4 E
But Aall around me everybody's multiplying
Till they're waElkin' round like flies man Esus4 E
So DI'm no better than the animals sitting in their caAges in the zoo man Asus4 A
Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees EI am an ape Aman
I think I'm so educated and I'm so civilized cos 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 RIFF 1
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man
CHORUS #1:
AI'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an Eape man
AI'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an Eape man
Cos cDompared to the sun that sits in the sky
ACompared to the clouds as they roll by
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies EI am an ape Aman
D D D D D A A D E A RIFF 1
La la la la la, la la
BRIDGE:
AIn man's evolution he has created the citieEs and the motor traffic rumble
ABut give me half a chance and I'd be taking ofEf my clothes and living in the jungle
Cos the oDnly time that I feel at ease is swAinging up and down in a coconut tree
E A RIFF 1
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man
CHORUS #2:
I'm an ape, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodoo man, oh I'm an ape man
I look out my window, but I can't see the sky
The air pollution is a-foggin' up my eyes
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an ape man
DLa Dla Dla Dla Dla, Ala Ala D E A
E (RIFF 2) A (RIFF 3)
Ah come and love me, be my ape man girl
E (RIFF 2) A RIFF 4 RIFF 1
And we will be so happy in my ape man world
CHORUS #3:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man
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 ape man RIFF 1
CHORUS #4:
I'm an ape man, I'm an ape ape man, oh I'm an ape man
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voo-doo man, oh I'm an ape man
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 ape man
DLa Dla Dla Dla Dla, Ala Ala D E A
