 A                 D
Big gorilla at the L.A. Zoo,
 A                          E
snatched the glasses right off my face.
A                     D
Took the keys to my BMW,
 A               E         A
left me here to take his place.

[verse]
A                 D
I wish the ape a lot of success,
A              E
I'm sorry my apartment's a mess,
A                            D
Most of all, I'm sorry if I made you blue,
A               
I'm bettin' the gorilla will too.

           A                      D
They say "Jesus will find you wherever you go",
     A                                 E          A
but when he'll come looking for you, they don't know.
        A                   D
In the meantime keep your profile low,
   A                    E A
gorilla, you're a desperado.

He built a house on an acre of land,
    D                  A
he called it "Villa Gorilla".
F#m              E
Now I hear he's getting divorced,
  D
laying low at L'Ermitage, of course.

Then the ape grew very depressed,
 D                           A
went through transactional analysis.
F#m                       E
He plays racquetball and runs in the rain,
D
still, he's tethered to a platinum chain.
