"Chimpan A to Chimpan Z"

Troy:

I hate every ape I see

From chimpan-a to chimpan-z,

No, you'll never make a monkey out of me.

Oh, my God, I was wrong,

It was Earth all along.

You finally made a monkey...

Ape:

Yes we finally made a monkey...

Troy and Apes:

Yes, you finally made a monkey out of me!

Troy:

I love you, Dr. Zaius!

[applause]

Thank you! It's great to be back! I just want to say I wouldn't be here without the support of a very special lady, my always outrageous fiancée, Selma! Take a bow, sugarbeet!

Selma:

Oh.

Homer:

Down in front!
