Lyrics for Flash Gordon's Ape

You jumped when the air hit your eyes You wanted t' go back but there wadn't none Now you been going back for so long That you think there is one It makes me laugh to hear you say how far you've come When you barely know how to use your thumb So you know how t' count t' one You messed in the sky picked a banana an' threw it At the sun You saw a flash in the water now there ain't one You brought back somethin' that wasn't there You brought back somethin' that wasn't fair Pull back the adhesive tape You're in ah scrape Take to to your trees There's no escape The leaves are gettin' faker everyday Flash Gordon's ape Your too day
