Lyrics

[Verse]
Saw them swinging from trees yeah that's their thrill
But the stench in the air gives me a chill
Banana peels scattered in the open sun
Man these apes ain't makin' life fun

[Verse 2]
They grunt and they growl no sense of style
The jungle's aroma putrid for miles
Can't stand the noise that comes from their lips
Always throwin' fits and banana drips

[Chorus]
Why oh why must I live near these apes
Their stink in the air a smell I can't escape
Dreamin' of a world that's clean and bright
Far away from this ape-filled blight

[Verse 3]
They scratch their heads with puzzled minds
Seekin' trouble all the time's what they find
Leapin' from branches like some hairy pest
In the jungle noise test they're the best

[Bridge]
I've had enough of their monkey biz
Dancin' and prancin' in this stinky abyss
Wishin' for silence and a breath of air
A monkey-free world now that's fair

[Chorus]
Why oh why must I live near these apes
Their stink in the air a smell I can't escape
Dreamin' of a world that's clean and bright
Far away from this ape-filled blight
