(Music starts)

Cornelius, Cornelius, I miss you ape Cornelius, I miss you ape 
I miss your toffee cape 
I miss your toffee cape Cornelius, you were my favorite ape 
I've got to get back to my favorite planet 
That I call the Planet of the Apes And find my ape, Cornelius 
We've got to go I want to jam with Cornelius, 
my favorite ape 
In his toffee cape 
I say toffee - some would just say tan 
But I'm a sophisticated guy so I call it toffee, not tan

Toffee is a color of clothes 
Tan is the color 
Of a costume 
Of an actor 
In a movie Called "Return to the Planet of the Apes"

Ladies and gentlemen, Mr. Jim O'Connor on the trumpet

I must return to the Planet of the Apes and find my friend, Cornelius 
I love that ape; he's my favorite ape 
The time when they put me in jail 
I did not appreciate the jail-time I did on the Planet of the Apes 
But I did that time because I love Cornelius 
And his toffee cape

Ape
