Planet of the Apes
Landed on an unknown beach
With the Statue of Liberty
I saw 'em riding in groups of two
I thought we landed at the zoo
They captured me today
Then they threw me in a cage
I asked him, "What's his name?"
He said, "I'm an orangutan."
You damn dirty ape.
You damn dirty ape!
Planet of the Apes (chorus)
A thousand monkeys on alert
Bright eyes throat was hurt
Monkey law, monkey trial
Monkey fashion, Monkey hairstyle!
Monkey lovin in the zoo
Human see, human do!
Dr. Zira, the chimpanzee
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout Dr. Z
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout Dr. Z
I can't stop thinkin' 'bout Dr. Z!
Planet of the Apes (chorus)
Go into Paradise by the Dashboard Light
Lead me though town on a leash
We went to the beach
I must get to the Forbidden Zone*
I must go all alone*
Gotta get out, gotta escape*
This planet rules by apes*
A world where apes evolved from men
You maniacs blew it up again
I must escape this foreign land
There's the Statue of Liberty buried in the sand
Down on my knees, on my knees I fell
God Damn you all to hell
God Damn you all to hell
Planet of the Apes (chorus)
