Ape Man

6 -6 6 7 7 7 7 6
I think I’m sophisticated
-6 6 7 7 7 7 -6 6 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
‘Cos I’m living my life like a good homosapien—
6 7 7 7 6 -6 6 7 7 7 7 -6 6
But all around me everybody’s multiplying
-6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 6
And they’re walking round like flies man
7 -9 -9 -9 7 -8 7 -9 -9 -9 -9 7 -8 7 8 8
So I’m no better than the animals sitting in their cages
8 8 7 7
In the zoo man
6 6 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 6 7 7 7 6
‘Cos compared to the flowers and the birds and the trees
-9 -8 -8 -7 7
I- am an ape man

6 -6 6 7 7 7 7 6 -6 6 7 7 7 6
I think I’m so educated and I’m so civilized
6 -6 6 -7 -7 -7 -6 -6 6
‘Cos I’m a strict vegetarian—
6 -6 6 7 7 7 7 -6 6 -6 6 7 7 7 7 -6 6
And with the over-population and inflation and starvation
-6 6 -7 -7 -7 -7 -6 -7 6
And the crazy politicians–

7 -9 -9 -9 7 7 -9 -9 -10
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
-9 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 8 9
I- don’t want to die in a nuclear war
7 8 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 9 8 -9 -8 -8 -7 7
I want to sail away to a distant shore and make like an ape man

7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 6 6 -6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, oh I’m an ape man
6 6 7 7 6 -6 7 7 6 6
I’m a King Kong man I’m voodoo man, oh
-6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man

7 7 -9 -9 -9 -9 7 -9 -9 -9 -10
‘Cos compared to the sun that sits in the sky
-9 8 8 8 8 7 8 8 9
Compared to the clouds as they roll by
7 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 8 9
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies
-9 -8 -8 -7 7
I- am an ape man
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 9 -9 -8 -8 7

(Spoken)
In man’s evolution he has created the cities and
The motor traffic rumble, but give me half a chance
And I’d be taking off my clothes and living in the jungle

7 7 -9 -9 -9 7 -9 -9 -9 -10
But the only- time that I feel at ease
-9 8 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 8 9
Is swinging up and down in a coconut tree
8 8 8 8 7 8 8 9 8 -9 -8 -8 -7 7
Oh what a life of luxury to be like an ape man

7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 6 6 -6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, oh I’m an ape man
6 6 7 7 6 -6 7 7 6 6
I’m a King Kong man I’m voodoo man, oh
-6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man

7 -9 -9 -9 -9 -9 7 7 -9 -9 -9 -10
I look out the window, but I can’t see the sky
-9 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 8 8 9
‘Cos air pollution is a fogging up my eyes
7 8 8 8 8 8 7 8 8 8 9
I want to get out of this city alive
8 -9 -8 -8 -7 7
And make like an ape man
-9 -9 -9 -9 -9 8 9 -9 -8 -8 7
la la la la la la la la la la la

9 9 9 -9 -8 6 6 9 -9 8
Come on and love me, be my ape man girl
6 9 9 8 -9 -8 6 6 8 -8 7
And we’ll be so happy in my ape man world

7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 6 6 -6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, oh I’m an ape man
6 6 7 7 6 -6 7 7 6 6
I’m a King Kong man I’m voodoo man, oh
-6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man

-9 -9 -9 -9 8 -9 -9 -9 -10
I’ll be your Tarzan, you’ll be my Jane
8 8 8 8 7 8 8 8 9
I’ll keep you warm and you’ll keep me sane
7 8 8 8 8 7 7 7 8 8 8 9
We’ll sit in the trees and eat bananas all day
-9 -8 -8 -7 7
Just like an ape man

7 7 7 7 -6 6 7 7 6 6 -6 6 -7 6
I’m an ape man, I’m an ape ape man, oh I’m an ape man
6 6 7 7 6 -6 7 7 6 6

7 -9 -9 -9 7 7 -9 -9 -10
I don’t feel safe in this world no more
-9 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 8 9
I don’t want to die in a nuclear war
7 8 8 8 8 8 7 7 8 8 9
I want to sail away to a diff’rent shore
8 -9 -8 -8 -7 7
And make like an ape man.
