| [A]/ / / / | / / / / | I think I'm [A]so - phisticated,
'Cause I'm living my life like a go[E]od homo sapien,[Esus4] [E]
But a[A]ll around me everybody's multiplying,
And they're wa[E]lking 'round like flies, man,[Esus4] [E]
So I[D]'m no better than the animals sitting in their ca[A]ges in the zoo, man,[Asus4] [A]
'Cause com - pa[A]red to the flowers, and the birds, and the trees, [E]I am an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
I think I'm s[A]o educated, and I'm so civilised, 'cause I'm a st[E]rict vegetarian,[Esus4] [E]
But with the o[A]ver population, and inflation, and starvation,
And the cr[E]azy poli - tici - ans,[Esus4] [E]
I do[D]n't feel safe in this world no more, I d[A]on't want to die in a nuclear war,
I w[A]ant to sail away to a distant shore, and m[E]ake like an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
I[A]'m an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
I'm a Ki[A]ng Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
'Cause com - pa[D]red to the sun that sits in the sky,
Com - pa[A]red to the clouds as they roll by, compared to the bugs,
And the sp[A]iders, and flies, [E]I am an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
[(D)]La-la, la-la! La - la - [(E)]la![D] [E] [A]

[A] In man's evolution he has created the c[E]ity, and the motor traffic rumble,
[A] But, give me half a chance, and I'd be taking [E]off my clothes, and living in the jungle,
'Cause the o[D]nly time that I feel at ease, is swi[A]nging up and down in a coconut tree,
[A]Oh, what a life of luxury to [E]be like an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
I[A]'m an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
I'm a Ki[A]ng Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
I l[D]ook out the window, but I can't see the sky,
The a[A]ir pollution is a - fogging up my eyes,
I w[A]ant to get out of this city alive, and m[E]ake like an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
[(D)]La-la, la-la! La - la - [(E)]la![D] [E] [A]

I'm a Ki[A]ng Kong man, I'm a vood - doo man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
I[D]'ll be your Tarzan, you'll be my Jane, I[A]'ll keep you warm, and you'll keep me sane,
We'll s[A]it in the trees, and eat bananas all day j[E]ust like an [E7]ape - m[A]an!
I[A]'m an ape - man, I'm an ape, ape - man, oh, I'm an a[E]pe - man,[Esus4] [E]
