I've tried my best to be for you Nobody but myself To no avail, and I still failed When I tried as someone else But I think I have the answer So please just hear me out Before you walk away from me Before you shoot me down If I were an orangutan Would you let me hang around? Would you like me better if my hair was red or My knuckles touched the ground? If you'd find me more appealing Who am I to disagree? Take me to Sumatra Make a monkey out of me We'll start each morning foraging For ficus fruits and grapes We'll live our lives just like the world's Most solitary apes With no need for society No tariff and no tax For picking lice and crickets From each others hairy backs If I were an orangutan Would you let me hang around? Would you like me better if my hair was red or My knuckles touched the ground? If you'd find me more appealing Who am I to disagree? Take me to Sumatra Make a monkey out of me I'll be the great sensation of zoology A brand new field in ape ecology And all the simian you can stand I'll be the talk of all the anthropology Majors, with the physiology Of a monkey and a man I'll peel bananas with my feet and hands, so If you don't believe me If you aren't quite convinced That paradise is being with The king of Asian chimps And living in the treetops Of forests rich and green I ask, what is a primate king Without a hairy queen? If I were an orangutan Would you let me hang around? Would you like me better if my hair was red or My knuckles touched the ground? If you'd find me more appealing Who am I to disagree? Take me to Sumatra Make a monkey out of me Take me to Sumatra Make a monkey out of me Take me to Sumatra Make a monkey out of me
