Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face
Took the keys to my BMW

Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success

I'm sorry my apartment's a mess
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue
I'm betting the gorilla will, too


They say Jesus will find you wherever you go
But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know

In the mean time, keep your profile low
Gorilla, you're a desperado


He built a house on an acre of land
He called it Villa Gorilla Now
I hear he's getting divorced

Laying low at L'Ermitage, of course

Then the ape grew very depressed

Went through Transactional !@%(ysis
He plays racquetball and runs in the rain
Still he's shackled to a platinum chain
