Space Ape Lyrics

On the island of life in the jungle of death
There lived a supersonic simian with bananas on his breath
He's the king of the jungle, so don't cross paths
He'll hop down from the tree tops and give the monkey's best
He swings vine to vine without losing a leaf
He watches out for the jungle even in his sleep

He is, he is, he is the ape
He is, he is, he is so great
He is, he is, he is so grand
The greatest monkey monster in all the monkey land

Lives a life of solitude and monkey mystery
Doing monkey things in his castle in the trees
Only monkeys can stay there cause he commands them
The other animals laugh and he can't stand them
He tries so very hard but he's so misunderstood
Doing monkey things in his castle in the woods

He is, he is, he is the ape
He is, he is, he is so great
He is, he is, he is so grand
The greatest monkey monster in all the monkey land

So finally he had had enough
He had to end his monkey life that had been so tough
He had plan to save the monkey race
To built a monkey rocket and fly up into space
And they worked and worked into monkey history
And their hearts beat in unison to what the great one said
He said we will be free, this is our destiny
I said it to the heavens, monkey gods we shall be

He is, he is, he is so great
He is, he is, he is the ape
He is, he is, he is so grand
The greatest monkey monster in all the monkey land
