Sedaka, Neil - I Go Ape Lyrics
The moon is bright above
Oh, what a night for love
And as I hold you near
I whisper in your ear
I'm a ding dong gorilla and I'll carry you cave man style
I'm gonna bump you on the head and love you all the while
Well, I'm a monkey's uncle who's a cousin to a chimpanzee
Like I was reeling and a rocking and a swinging from a coconut tree
Oh, honey, can't you see you bring out the monkey business in me?
Ranga tanga ring ting tong
I'm related to old King Kong
Honey, won't you say you're mine?
When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man
I go ape
Like a barrel on monkeys on an abadaba honeymoon
I go squealing and a screechcing rand a howling like a big baboon
Well, baby, I'll explode if you don't come and kiss me soon
Yeah!
Whoa!
Oh, well, honey, you know that I'm gonna be true to you
I'll keep you in bananas and bring you coconuts, too
And we'll settle down in the nearest county zoo
Whoa
Ranga tanga ring ting tong
I'm related to old King Kong
Whoo
Honey, won't you say you're mine?
With a honky tonky monkey shine
When you hold my hand I'm a pre-historic man
I go ape

Sedaka, Neil I Go Ape Comments
This was a great effort at a more rock and roll sound, it's got a great driving pounding piano
I taped this song from a radio show for any reason back in `73 ! Didn`t listen to it since then! Brings back memories
las vegas any one ?
Underrated - Classically trained - 12 yrs at Juillard, NYC.
I remember seeing this performed on an Australian TV show called Young Talent Time.
ROCKING TRACK!
This just totally grooves my cool 😎 baby!!!!
Popular about March-April 1959 in the US and May-June 1959 in the UK.
Neil Sedaka pure gold.
Sax performance on this kicks ass.
King Curtis.
This still excites me as much as the 1st time I heard it at a garden fete in Prescot, Liverpool in 1959, my mum and dad dragging me away from where it was playing. .....That peeanner when it starts is so explosive! Then there's the sax in the middle 8. I am so grateful to have been young when all that stuff was happening.
Me too. It was very popular with travelling fairs, dodgem cars , rides etc. Noisy fairground music. Never tire of hearing this song. Just wonder what the PC brigade would make of it!
this is jeremiah and i like evrey song that Neil sedaka has mad
This is one of my father's favs from that period. :)
Sweet times, Sweet and silly music
