Zevon, Warren - Gorilla, You're A Desperado Lyrics
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
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 mean time, keep your profile low
Gorilla, you're a desperado
He built a house on an acre of land
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

HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
EXCITABLE BOY!!!
AGELESS, MATCHLESS, IRREPLACEABLE... SO TERRIBLY MISSED. You didn't die, Warren...like all the brightest, hottest stars, you went NOVA...ONE LAST, BRILLIANT FLASH OF GENIUS THEN YOU WERE GONE, LEAVING THE SKIES--AND OUR LIVES--ALL THE DARKER FOR YOUR PASSING. ROCK THE PILLARS OF THE HEAVENS, PIANO FIGHTER! THERE'LL NEVER BE ANOTHER LIKE YOU!!!
Only Zevon could rhyme "zoo" with "BMW".... :D
Came across him years back, watching Letterman on late night TV here in Australia & was instantly blown-away!!!!!!!!
