Gorilla
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 overeat
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, baby, when he comes to town
You know he's out there somewhere trying to track you down
Look up in the sky, mama that's the one, yeah
See the mighty profile block the noonday sun
He comes from the heart of darkness a thousand miles from here
Now that's a 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 as 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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, tweet, tweet, doodie-doo
Come on, baby
He's still a gorilla
He's got a nose like a doughnut, he's got a tendency to overeat
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, baby, when he comes to town
You know he's out there somewhere trying to track you down
Look up in the sky, mama that's the one, yeah
See the mighty profile block the noonday sun
He comes from the heart of darkness a thousand miles from here
Now that's a 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 as 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
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, tweet, tweet, doodie-doo
Come on, baby
He's still a gorilla
