The Gorilla

Bert Convy

 

We were out of school

With nothing to do

So we jumped in my car

And we went to the zoo

Having lots of fun

Just a-walkin’ around

Looking in the cages

When I heard a funny sound

Somebody yelled

And one began to shout

I turned around

And my eyes bugged out

 

He’s out of his cage

He’s on a rampage

Swingin’ his arms all over the place

Fiery red eyes and a big ugly face

Chip-chip-chip-chip-chip-chip-chip

Go-ril-la

 

He climbed on a bus

And he rode downtown

Stopping all the traffic

For miles around

He heard some music coming

From a record shop

Jumped off the bus

And he started to bop

 

He’s out of his cage

He’s on a rampage

Swingin’ his arms all over the place

Dancin’ rock ‘n’ roll with a grin on his face

Chip-chip-chip-chip-chip-chip-chip

Go-ril-la

 

He heard some music coming

From a record shop

He jumped off the bus

And he started to bop

He stopped his dancing

And looked up in the sky

A flying purple people eater

Was flying by

He reached up and grabbed him

And he ate him whole

 

A gorilla!
