Chimpey ooked, and he tried to talk
I got "I, up, now, yo, walk"
And "Lucy"
Well I jumped to a top branch, and I scanned in awe
I felt dizzy, begun to rave
As a big two-legger stepped out, of her rain-shelter cave

I don´t know why she´s leaving, I haven´t got the brains
I guess she´s got her reasons, but I´m staying off the plains
Now for twenty-four years I´ve been living next tree to Lucy
Twenty-four years she´s waited for a chance
To leave with an erectus and I never had the hands
When he got two legs up I was living next tree to Lucy

We grew up together, two apes in the trees
We gnawed our bananas, eat our fleas
Me and Lucy
Then she walked out the path, by the monolith
Ahead to the valley, she called the rift
That big two-legger moved swiftly, gave Lucy a lift

I don´t know why she´s leaving, I´m feeling lost and dumb
I guess I could have hitched a hike, but I don´t have the thumb
Now for twenty-four years I´ve been living next tree to Lucy
Twenty-four years of grooming but I stink
More hunter than collector so there too´s a missing link
Now I gotta get used to not living next tree to Lucy

When Lucy was gone, I yelled and jumped
I cried ´cos I knew, I got dumped
Love my Lucy
I thought that "Lucy´s gone, but fire´s there
No more I´ll be rubbing wood twenty-four years"
Those bipedalists left it here

I don´t know why she´s leaving, my cortex is too small
I guess there is a chance that Ethiopia´s a ball
But for twenty-four years I was living alongside Lucy
Twenty-four years of hairy, sweaty palms
Of maggot eating, peeling, tries to reach the speaking realms
Now I got to rise up to not living alongside Lucy

Will I ever survive this, not living next tree to Lucy?
