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
