Lyrics

0:10He's got arms like legs
0:14He's got hands on his feet
0:19He's got a nose like a doughnut
0:22He's got a tendency to over eat
0:28He don't use tools or weapons
0:32He don't eat meat
0:36He likes to stick to the bushes
0:39Tends to avoid the street
0:44But he rides my El Dorado baby
0:48When he comes to town
0:52You know he's out there somewhere
0:56Tryin' to track you down
1:02Look up in the sky
1:05Mama that's the one yeah
1:09See the mighty profile
1:13Block the noonday sun
1:18He comes from the heart of darkness
1:21A thousand miles from here
1:25Now that's the land where they understand
1:29What a woman might like to hear
1:34You know that he loves you baby
1:38For what you really are
1:43His love is a burning hot
1:46As a big old ten cent cigar
1:59Now most of y'all
2:00Have seen a gorilla
2:02In a cage at the local zoo
2:07He mostly sits around contemplating
2:11All the things that he'd prefer to do
2:16He dreams about the world outside
2:19From behind those bars of steel
2:24And no one seems to understand
2:27About the heartache the man can feel
2:33The people stop and stare
2:36But nobody seems to care
2:41It don't seem right somehow
2:45It just don't seem fair
2:48No no no no no no no no
2:51Dui dui du di du
2:53Come on baby
2:56He's still a gorilla
2:59Eh huu
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 baby
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 yeah
See the mighty profile
Block the noonday sun
He comes from the heart of darkness
A thousand miles from here
Now 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
No no no no no no no no
Dui dui du di du
Come on baby
He's still a gorilla
Eh huu
