Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo
Snatched the glasses right off my face 
Took the keys to my BMW 
Left me here to take his place

I wish the ape a lot of success 
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess 
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue 
I'm betting the gorilla will, too

They say Jesus will find you wherever you go 
But when He'll come looking for you, they don't know 
In the mean time, keep your profile low 
Gorilla, you're a desperado

He built a house on an acre of land 
He called it 'Villa Gorilla Now'
I hear he's getting divorced 
Laying low at L'Ermitage, of course

Then the ape grew very depressed 
Went through Transactional Analysis 
He plays racquetball and runs in the rain 
Still he's shackled to a platinum chain

Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo 
Snatched the glasses right off my face 
Took the keys to my BMW 
Left me here to take his place
