THE FORMAT LYRICS - Apeman

"Apeman"

(originally by The Kinks)



i think i'm sophisticated

'cause i'm livin' my life like a good homosapien

but all around everybody's multiplyin'

and they're walkin' 'round like flies now

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 civilised 'cause i'm a strict vegetarian

but with the overpopulation 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, the city, the sky,

compared to the clouds as they roll by,

compared to the bugs, and the spiders and flies

i am an apeman



la la la la la la la la la la



a man's evolution has created the city and the motor traffic rumble

but give me half a chance

and i'll be takin' off my clothes and livin' in the jungle

'cause the only time that i feel at ease

is swingin' up and down in the 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 my window but i can't see the sky

the air pollution is foggin' up my eyes

i wanna get out of this city alive

and make like an apeman



la la la la la la la la la la



come on and love me, be my apeman girl

and we'd 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 tarzan, you be my jane

i'll keep you warm and you 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 wanna sail away to a distant shore

and make like an apeman



la la la la la la la la la la
