Now most of y'all have seen a gorilla in a cage at the local zoo

Em                     A                        Em                        A
He mostly sits around contemplating,  all the things that he'd prefer to do

G    D               C        G          Em                   A

 Em                  A                    Em                    A
And no one seems to understand about the heartache the man can feel

 G   D       C        G        Em              A
The people stop and stare but nobody seems to care

Em             A            Em                    A
It don't seem right somehow,  it just don't seem fair

 Em                   A                     
Nononono, nononono, sweet sweet doody doo, 

 Em         A                Em        A       Em      A
Come on baby,  he's still a gorilla, [gorilla grunts]
