| He's got arms like legs | |
| He's got hands on his feet | |
| He's got a nose like a doughnut | |
| He's got a tendency to over eat | |
| He don't use tools or weapons | |
| He don't eat meat | |
| He likes to stick to the bushes | |
| Tends to avoid the street | |
| But he rides my el dorado | |
| When he comes to town | |
| You know he's out there somewhere | |
| Tryin' to track you down | |
| Look up in the sky | |
| Mama that's the one | |
| See the mighty profile | |
| Block the noonday sun | |
| He comes from the heart of darkness | |
| A thousand miles from here | |
| That's the land where they understand | |
| What a woman might like to hear | |
| You know that he loves you baby | |
| For what you really are | |
| His love is a burning hot | |
| As a big old ten cent cigar | |
| Now most of y'all | |
| Have seen a gorilla | |
| In a cage at the local zoo | |
| He mostly sits around contemplating | |
| All the things that he'd prefer to do | |
| He dreams about the world outside | |
| From behind those bars of steel | |
| And no one seems to understand | |
| About the heartache the man can feel | |
| The people stop and stare | |
| But nobody seems to care | |
| It don't seem right somehow | |
| It just don't seem fair | |
| He's still a gorilla |
