It was forty years ago today
in a little clearing that-a-way
that me mum, she fin'lly cracked a smile
she'd been tryna squeeze me out a while
and then she introduced me to
this tree I've sat in all those years
I'm such a grumpy
old orangutan

I'm such a grumpy old orangutan
a dull and lonely so-and-so
such a grumpy old orangutan
I just sit on my arse, you know

such a grumpy, lonely
such a grumpy, lonely
such a grumpy old orangutan

It's horrible to be here
I wish that I wuz dead
It's such a boring life I lead
I watch Sigourney through the mist
and then I go to bed

I don't really want this life you know
really wish I'd learnt to play cello
or become proficient at mah jong
or abducted cuties, like King Kong

but meanwhile I'll just sit and frown
coz that's the only thing I know
I'm such a grumpy old oranguta-a-an

kill
me
please..
