Lyrics:

Cornelius, Cornelius, I miss you ape
Cornelius, I miss you ape
I miss your toffee cape
I miss your toffee cape, Cornelius
Cornelius, you were my favorite ape

I've got to get back to that crazy planet
That I call the planet of the apes
And find 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 a color of a costume of an actor
In a movie called Return to the Planet of the Apes!

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 jailtime
That I did on the planet of the apes
But I did that time because I love Cornelius
And his toffee cape
Ape
