Who Called The Ape-man
Toby Roktot

v1-I heard the ape-man was lookin' for me
All pissed off, swingin' thru the trees
Something about his girl, a lady named Jane
I swear I didn't know, please let me explain !!
We were just havin' a lil' bit of fun
She was swingin' on my vine, I was gettin' me some

ch- Now, Who called the ape-man? Who called him on me?
Who called the ape? I'm too scared to p p pee!
Whoever called the ape is an S O B!
Who called the ape-man? good God!...ON ME ???

v2-I was takin' a walk down by the swimmin' hole
Enjoying the jungle, just out for a stroll
She was swimmin' by the waterfall in her birthday suit
She said "Come hither Cowboy, take off those boots"
She started goin' crazy on my vertical passion fruit
Now I'm stuck in the middle of a Congo dispute !!!
ch-
(spoken)
"Hey Cheeta, did you rat me out?
If you did, I'm gonna come at you like a spider monkey....you hairy bastard...pink-assed jerk!!!"

Who Called The Ape?
Caravan Ray

It's a family affair
A painful realisation that a giant rift is breaking us apart
We think it's only fair
that given your proclivities for wantonness
you leave our family hearth

Genocide and mutilation
Pollution and deforestation
Your actions leave our planet crumbling to dust
It is very clear that you're not one of us

Who called you "ape"?
You know that you're not worthy of the name
You never have done anything but bring our family shame
We've gathered up the evidence, and our case is watertight
Your taxonomic classification just isn't right

You know that it makes sense
They call you Homo sapiens
But when have you shown signs of sapience?
So we must say goodbye
And cast you out forever from
The Family Hominidae

Who called you "ape"?
You know that you're not worthy of the name
You never have done anything but bring our family shame
We've gathered up the evidence, and our case is watertight
Your taxonomic classification just isn't right

Gorillas and orang-utan have all come to agree
That there must be a be a drastic pruning of our ancient family tree
Chimpanzees and their cousins bonobo
Have come to the conclusion that you have to go

Nick Soma - Who Called The Ape?

"Who called the ape?", said the antelope.
"Now that he's here, I've abandoned all hope."
The zebra, giraffe, and the aardvark hide.
Not even the lion could keep him outside.

You think you've seen him? Not even close.
He comes in disguises no one knows.
Everybody fears him all the same
When he's playing his favorite game.

Who called the ape, who called the ape, yeaah?
He's gonna mess up your whole life in a second.
Who called the ape, who called the ape, yeaah?
Nothing's the way it seemed to be.

Usually he says he just wants to chat,
and he doesn't care if you're a bear or a rat.
He messes with your mind, he tears you apart.
Don't know where to stop, don't know where to start.

You think you've seen him? Not even close.
He comes in disguises no one knows.
Everybody fears him all the same
When he's done, you don't even know your name.

Who called the ape, who called the ape, yeaah?
He's gonna mess up your whole life in a second.
By magical forces he was beckoned.
And with a force like him, there must be reckoned.

The ape's a philosopher like no one else.
When you've talked to him, you're no longer yourself.
He attacks like a horde of wildebeest.
It's horror to you, but for him it's a feast, yeaaaaah.

Who called the ape, who called the ape, yeaah?
He's gonna mess up your whole life in a second.
Who called the ape, who called the ape, yeaah?
Nothing's the way it seemed to be.

Who Called The Ape?
Odilon Green

VERSE 1

During a ball game with my angles
I hit an errant pop fly
Say goodbye to the dinosaurs
But I'll have another try

I'm taking applications
For a new species to rule the earth
Maybe dolphin, maybe elephant
Give my favorite planet a chance at rebirth

CHORUS

I'm looking for an animal
To help the Earth's future take shape
A genus kind, patient and humble
Hey . . . who called the ape?

VERSE 2

I want a species that is interesting
And can think quick on its feet
A species that's creative
Funky and offbeat

But most important
will you honor your kin?
The other animals sharing
the world you live in?
Can you make your peace
With every animal you find?
Will you treat all other species
As you treat fellow mankind?

CHORUS

I'm looking for an animal
To help the Earth's future take shape
Smart, calm, insightful
Hey . . . who called the ape?

BRIDGE

[Human]
"So you're asking if
Once I'm in charge
I'll treat all the creatures
Whether small or large
And those that swim
and those that crawl
with the same concern
I show to all
Humanity?"

[The Boss]
"Indeed."

[Human]
"So like I treat people who
Don't look like me
Or see things ways
That I don't see.
You're asking if I'll
treat fauna the same
As I treat people
My mind declaims
as different from me?"

[The Boss]
"Exactly. "

[Human]
"I can promise you that won't be a problem."

CHORUS x2

I'm looking for an animal
To help the Earth's future take shape
A genus kind, patient and humble
Hey . . . who called the ape?

I'm looking for an animal
To help the Earth's future take shape
He talks a good game so I guess
I'll pick the ape.
