Warren Zevon — Gorilla Youre a Desperado

[Verse 1] Big gorilla at the LA 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 [Verse 2] 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 [Verse 3] He built a house on an acre of land (Ooh-ah-ooh) He called it Villa Gorilla Now I hear he's getting divorced (Ooh-ah-ooh) Laying low at L'Ermitage of course [Instrumental Break] [Verse 4] Then the ape grew very depressed (Ooh-ah-ooh) Went through transactional analysis He plays racquetball and runs in the rain (Ooh-ah-ooh) Still he's shackled to a platinum chain [Outro] Big gorilla at the LA Zoo Snatched the glasses right off my face Took the keys to my BMW Left me here to take his place, hey!
