Lyrics

Troy Chic

[phone rings]

MacArthur Parker:

Troy, Mac Parker. Ever hear of "Planet of the Apes?"

Troy McClure:

Uh... the movie or the planet?

MacArthur Parker:

The brand-new multi-million-dollar musical. And you are starring as -- the human.

Troy McClure:

It's the part I was born to play, baby!

Stop the Planet of the Apes

Chimpanzee 1:

Help, the human's about to escape!

Troy:

Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!

Chimpanzee 2:

[gasps] He can talk!

Orangutans:

He can talk! He can talk!

He can talk! He can talk!

He can talk! He can talk!

Troy:

I can siiiiiiiing!

Dr. Zaius

Chimp Nurse:

Ooh, help me, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutans:

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Oh, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutan 1:

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Troy:

What's wrong with me?

Dr. Zaius:

I think you're crazy.

Troy:

Want a second opinion.

Dr. Zaius:

You're also lazy.

Orangutans:

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Oh, Dr. Zaius!

Orangutan 1:

Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

Can I play the piano anymore?

Dr. Zaius:

Of course you can.

Well, I couldn't before.

Bart:

This play has everything.

Homer:

Oh, I love legitimate the-a-ter.

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...

Apes:

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!
