Dr. Zaius Lyrics

[Ape 1]
Help! The human's about to escape.

[Troy McClure]
Get your paws off me, you dirty ape!

[Ape 2]
(gasp) He can talk!

[Ape]
He can talk! He can talk! He can talk!
He can talk! He can talk! He can talk!

[Troy]
And I can siiiiiiiiiiing!

[Ape Nurse]
Oooh! Help me, Dr. Zaius!

[Ape Chorus]
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
O, Dr. Zaius!


[Ape 1]
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
[Troy]
What's wrong with me?

[Dr. Zaius]
I think you're crazy.

[Troy]
I want a second opinion.

[Dr. Zaius]
You're also lazy

[Ape Chorus]
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
O, Dr. Zaius!


[Orangutan 1]
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!

[Troy]
Can I play the piano any more?

[Dr. Zaius]
Of course you can!
[Troy]
Well I couldn't before.
(plays piano)

[Ape Chorus]
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
Dr. Zaius! Dr. Zaius!
