[Verse 1]
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
He's got arms like legs, he's got hands on his feet
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
He's got a nose like a doughnut, got a tendency to overeat
Am7 D5 Am7 D5
He don't use tools or weapons, he don't eat meat
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
He likes to stick to the bushes, tends to avoid the street
G7sus4 G7 A7sus4 A7
But he rides my El Dorado, baby, when he comes to town
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
You know he's out there somewhere, trying to track you down
[Verse 2]
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4
Look up in the sky, mama that's the one, yeah, uh huh
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
See the mighty profile, block the noonday sun
Am7 D5 Am7 D5
He comes from the heart of darkness a thousand miles from here
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
That's the land where they understand what a woman might like to hear
G7sus4 G7 A7sus4 A7
You know that he loves you baby, for what you really are
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
His love is as burning hot, as a big old ten cent cigar

[Verse 3]
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Now most of y'all have seen a gorilla in a cage at the local zoo
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
He mostly sits around contemplating, all the things that he'd prefer to do
Am7 D5 Am7 D5
He dreams about the world outside from behind those bars of steel
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
And no one seems to understand about the heartache the man can feel
G7sus4 G7 A7sus4 A7
The people stop and stare but nobody seems to care
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
It don't seem right somehow, it just don't seem fair
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4
Nononono, nononono, tweet tweet doody doo,
E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7 E7sus4 E7
Come on baby, he's still a gorilla, [gorilla grunts]
