A Mad Ape Den by me [3-letter goofball lyrics by Andrew Lenahan / Starblind]
Old ode is at the end of the row [Original lyrics of each line in brackets]
Get it up as a vid too if you can [Feel free to make a video if you want to]
"Wee" is a big gas, yo [Dearest me, but "wee" is ever such a funny word!]
MAD
APE
DEN
Zap the wee ape ["Shock the Monkey"]
an ode by the big man at the top of the 80s pop map [a song by Peter Gabriel]
Zap the wee ape so it may get a bit of zip [Shock the monkey to life]
Zap the wee ape so it may get a bit of zip [Shock the monkey to life]
Lid me as I jog [Cover me when I run]
Lid me in the lit ash [Cover me through the fire]
It hit me out of the elm [Something knocked me out the trees]
And now I beg of you [Now I'm on my knees]
Lid me, hon, so I ask [Cover me, darling please]
Wee ape, wee ape, wee ape [Monkey, monkey, monkey]
Can you see you are to zap the wee ape [Don't you know when you're going to shock the monkey]
Fox the fox [Fox the fox]
Rat the rat [Rat the rat]
You can ape the ape [You can ape the ape]
I can see it is so [I know about that]
But can you not see how it is so [There is one thing you must be sure of]
I yen to be rid of it [I can't take any more]
Hon, ape not the wee ape [Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey]
Wee ape, wee ape, wee ape [Monkey, monkey, monkey]
Can you see you are to zap the wee ape [Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey]
Cog set is apt to run at a 360 yaw [Wheels keep turning]
A bit of ash is on the air [Something's burning]
I see it not as so rad, but I'm up on how it is [Don't like it but I guess I'm learning]
ZAP! See the wee ape go ow, wee ape [Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey]
Lid me, as I nap [Cover me, when I sleep]
Lid me, as I nom the air [Cover me, when I breathe]
You lob thy sea gem to the pig [You throw your pearls before the swine]
May the wee ape see not [Make the monkey blind]
Lid me, hon, so I ask [Cover me, darling please]
Wee ape, wee ape, wee ape [Monkey, monkey, monkey]
Can you see you are to zap the wee ape [Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey]
I did lay a big bet [Too much at stake]
Oh no! The sod is apt to jar [Ground beneath me shake]
And I get an ear of all the new gab [And the news is breaking]
ZAP! See the wee ape go ow, wee ape [Shock! - watch the monkey get hurt, monkey]
Zap the wee ape [Shock the monkey]
Zap the wee ape [Shock the monkey]
Zap the wee ape so it may get a bit of zip [Shock the monkey to life]
This is awesome. I'm proud to say that I knew what song it was before I opened the post. Next, I learn Klingon.
Yay, you put to me a joy as you did see my ode as so fun. [Yay, thanks!]
Oh, but I had it set up in a way so gay as to put joy to the eye! [Oh shit, my formatting!]
As one may get on in it, it is not so bad. One can see it is not so, one may not end it yet. [Can't... stop...]
let it end! LET IT END!
I hate Mad Ape Den more than almost anything on this planet but this actually impressed me. So well done.
Why, Mad Ape Den not get you joy?
@JonT you poor innocent angel. You have no idea what they're gonna make you do at the start of May.
WHOOPS :(
Oh god is this some kind of threat? Should I hide under my desk?
Ah! I spy an odd jot to set up a gag ere May! [Ever so mysterious. I think.]
Nice
