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
