Lyrics by Warren Zevon
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
Just having a little fun with one of my favourite songwriters, the genius that is Warren Zevon.

The only song I know of his is, "Werewolves of London" the Trader Vic's line might make an interesting image and I like the idea for this one.

LOL ... this reminds me of all those times when you see a beautiful woman on the arm of some rich dude; and you find yourself thinking - "I Wonder What She Sees In A Gorilla like that!" Nice work, Cyber-Twin.
