I didn't meet you in the jungle

Swinging from a tree

I sat down at the piano

You were playing with me

I couldn't believe all the things you could do

The apes I'd seen were in the zoo.

They say we are unique with this language that we speak

But you have proved them wrong.

Skinner and chomsky, how could they be so blind

With evidence this strong?

Intelligent life is all around us

Intelligent life is all around us

When you watch king kong or the planet of the apes

Upon your video screen

When the animals die, tears fill your eye

And you question what you've seen.

Intelligent life is all around us

Intelligent life is all around us

Hey, bonobo woman

Hey, bonobo man

Look in your eyes

That's where I come from.

Hey, bonobo woman

Hey, bonobo man

Talk to me now

I am listening.

You can search the internet

You can use your video phone

To call another friend.

If we gave you all the tools

You can do whatever you want

Who knows when this will end.

Intelligent life is all around us

Hey, bonobo woman

Hey, bonobo man

Look in your eyes

That's where we come from

Hey, bonobo woman

Hey, bonobo man

Talk to us now

We are listening

Starting to hear the things you've said

Getting to know what's going on in your head

There's no humans on the line

But there'll be plenty more there in good time.

Dolphins, cats, and elephants

This is not some wild romance

Just look in their eyes and say it's not true

Look in their eyes, they're checking out you.
