| Long for them, long for those bald folks
|
| Then we, and flower and birds, were wonderfully free
|
| But ever since they came flowers sit in a pot
|
| The birds in a cage, they decide our fate
|
| For they, they invented, the crook and the prisoner
|
| The criminal records, and the little keyhole
|
| And censored their long scissors the press
|
| De apen, de apen
|
| De apen, out of thisneighbourhood
|
| De apen, de apen
|
| De apen, out of thisneighbourhood
|
| Long before them, then the man was a prince
|
| The wife was a princess, the love baby
|
| But since they came, the prince is a beggar
|
| The empire dies out and the princess becomes merchandise
|
| For they, they found from the love that dishonor
|
| That love that is a business, the slave trade
|
| The gangsters with their air of impeccable walking
|
| And from thenthey were shot
|
| De apen, de apen
|
| De apen, out of thisneighbourhood
|
| De apen, de apen
|
| De apen, out of thisneighbourhood
|
| Long before them there was peace on earth'
|
| The freedom of the person was still worth a lot
|
| But since they came they've succeeded anyway
|
| That the reason of the state has dispelled reason
|
| For they, they found from that pointed bayonet
|
| The napalm and atomic bomb, the guided missile
|
| The brainwashing they have and highly learned
|
| And from thenthey have been civilized
|
| De apen, de apen
|
| De apen, out of thisneighbourhood
|
| De apen, de apen
