Apeman
R. D. Davies / the Kinks
| D | D | D | D | D | D | A | E | - | D | E | E | A |
| | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| A | E |
| 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 |
| I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an | apeman! |
| A | E |
I'm a | King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an | apeman! |
| D | A |
'Cause | compared to the sun that sits in the sky, Com | pared to the clouds as they roll by, |
| E | A |
Compared to the bugs and the spiders and flies | I am an ape | man. |
| 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. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh man, oh I'm an apeman | |
I look out the window but I can't see the sky, The air pollution is a-fucking up my eyes, | |
I want to get out of this city alive and make like an apeman. | |
| 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. |
I'm an apeman, I'm an ape, apeman, oh I'm an apeman | |
I'm a King Kong man, I'm a voodooh 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 voodooh 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. | |
