My Gorilla

My gorilla wears tennis shoes

He reads the paper and sings the blues

My gorilla, my gorilla

My gorilla, he's a sensitive guy

I took him out for a wedding, and man did he cry!

Tears all down his tie

Well, he can drive most greens from the back tees

But his putting brings him to his knees

My gorilla, my gorilla

 

My gorilla loves pork and beans

He rides a scooter in his cut-off jeans

My gorilla, my gorilla

He can make a mean souffle

He's great with omelets, but his specialty is flambe

So I eat one every day!

He's been working hard on a half pike

But his cannonball empties the pool

My gorilla, my gorilla

 

My gorilla is so much fun

He buys taquitos for everyone

My gorilla, my gorilla

My gorilla loves tequila with lime

He's taking classes at a school for mime

Cracks me up every time!

Well, he's looking cool in his "white face"

And his French beret looks oh so fine

My gorilla, my gorilla

Oh yeah...
