Gorilla You`re A Desperado Lyrics

Gorilla You`re A Desperado lyrics

(Warren Zevon)

 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 meantime 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
