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 Eldorado, 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 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

(Ape sounds)

Now most of y'all gave 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 come on baby
He's still a gorilla
(Ape sounds)
