The Vandals: "I've Got An Ape Drape" Lyrics

Make it like that famous country singer

Or that guy I saw last night on Jerry Springer

Clean me up but let me keep my edge,

In the day i like to keep it dignified

But at night you know I got another side

And I don't give a damn,

Cause I am what I am

Even if it's really really bad.



I've got an Ape Drape,

Yes I do

They're givin' them to anyone,

And that means you

You can drive to Riverside and get one too

Then you'll have an Ape Drape like I do.



Go ahead and buzz 'round the ears

I've been growing that one braid back there for years

I've had it since the first time I saw Queensryche

The front may conform to society

But the back says I have personality

Even if it's really really,

Even if it's really really bad.



I've got an Ape Drape,

Yes I do

They're givin' them to anyone,

And that means you

You can drive to Riverside and get one too

Then you'll have an Ape Drape like I do.



Make it short in the front and long in the back!

If the top's not short enough that it stands up

I could be thrown out of the Bad Boy Club

But don't you lay a finger on my pony tail

Now fix my kid up so he looks like me,

And then matching crazy pants are all we need

Some may call it child abuse

I just call it bonding with your Dad.
