lyrics

Alfaðir í Eden fann
apa sem um greinar rann
ætlaði að gera úr honum mann
sem elskaði Guð og náungann.

sat hann við með sveittar brár
í sextán hundruð þúsund ár.
Apinn reyndist þrjóskur, þrár

Að hálfu leyti api enn
eðlin geymir tvenn og þrenn.
Lítil von hann lagist senn
lengi er Guð að skapa menn
