The Lyrics
apes...must think we're so unwise
we've cluttered up our lives
unlike those hairy guys
here...the humans rose to fame
superior, its claimed
but do apes feel the same ?
dumber ?...hell, no...truth must be told here
dumber ?...hell, no...apes love their role, here
dumber ?...hell, no...they have more soul, dear
then...man...may
now...in trees they make the scene
they're peaceful and serene
their lives are sweet as dreams
all...these creatures understand
is mother nature's plan
i wish i weren't a man
dumber ?...hell, no...truth must be told here
dumber ?...hell, no...apes love their role, here
dumber ?...hell, no...they have more soul, dear
then...man...may
soon...we may wise up and find
these gentle creatures' minds
work better than mankind's
we've cluttered up our lives
unlike those hairy guys
here...the humans rose to fame
superior, its claimed
but do apes feel the same ?
dumber ?...hell, no...truth must be told here
dumber ?...hell, no...apes love their role, here
dumber ?...hell, no...they have more soul, dear
then...man...may
now...in trees they make the scene
they're peaceful and serene
their lives are sweet as dreams
all...these creatures understand
is mother nature's plan
i wish i weren't a man
dumber ?...hell, no...truth must be told here
dumber ?...hell, no...apes love their role, here
dumber ?...hell, no...they have more soul, dear
then...man...may
soon...we may wise up and find
these gentle creatures' minds
work better than mankind's

"Yes, man descended, the ornery cuss, but brothers, he didn't descend from us!"
Nicely done, with great sentiment... and, I'm just assuming here, writing it got that monkey off your back...
