All By Myself (Without No Ape)


I'm so unhappy, what'll I do?
I long for somebody who can sympathize with me,
I'm growing so tired of living alone,
Every night I sit and cry,
Nobody loves me, that's why,


(CHORUS)

I'm all by myself with no ook-ook,
All by myself with no ape.
I wish I had me a big old baboon,
Baying at the moon,
Like a silly loon.
Oh, if I had a gorilla,
Then all my cares I'd escape (I'd stay in shape)
I long to lay my weary head on orangutan shoulders,
Can't stand to grow older
Without no ape.
