See them in their cages having fun See them trying to mimic everyone
How they like to clown Hanging upside down
They don't mind if they get nothing done They're the chimps, can't you see
They're the chimps and they're just like you and me
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
See them grinning as they dance and play
They're performers each and every day
Just how much they earn People never learn
They're too busy handing out their pay
For the chimps, can't you see
They're the chimps and they're just like you and me
Yeah
Chimpanzee, look at me
Do the things I tell you to and you will be a star
Chimpanzee, you can see
That you'll never get your way
If you keep wishing on a star
Oh, all the people watch from week to week
They don't notice themselves, they see
Swinging to and fro
Round and round they go
Looking for a very special free
Like the chimps
Can't you see
They're the chimps and they're just like you and me
Yeah, yeah, oh yeah
