     Am            C
He's got so many problems
         F                G
You can count them one by one
        Am            C
He's a filthy, stupid ape man
    F             G
He never has any fun

    Am           C
He lives in the jungle,
      F         G
in a cave by a hill
         Am         C
Plays an old loud drum
       F                G
He's primitive, barely human

Chorus:
Am G       Am
   Ape man hop,
Am G       Am
   Ape man hop

Paint the face of a demon,
glowing by the fire light
Hopping like an elephant
Thunder and lightning tonight

He's the world's first witch doctor
The iceman comes to life
He's the devil's apprentice
He's a prehistoric man

Chorus

At night he's going to sacrifice
his beloved ape man girl
Tie her to the alter, pull out
her heart and eat her flesh

Chorus - x2
