Guy The Gorilla

Lyrics

Guy the Gorilla has been locked up for ages Has been living forever in Regent's Park cages They used to allow him the freedom of bars Then they covered him over with double-thick glass Poor Guy (ooh), poor Guy He used to be quite happy spitting at faces And doing his act for the humane races But the public weren't happy with his punk attitude They thought he was dirty and certainly crude Poor Guy (ooh), Poor Guy But, he's still (still) somebody's baby Still somebody's baby (still somebody's baby) Still somebody's one and only love Yes, he's still (still) somebody's baby Still somebody's baby (still somebody's baby) His mother still waits by the zookeeper's gates up above (ooh) For Shirley, his lover, he longed to perform But he couldn't take cover from the food being thrown So they took her away and later, she died Guy just couldn't see the funny side Poor Guy (ooh), Poor Guy But, he's still (still) somebody's sweetheart Still somebody's sweetheart (still somebody's sweetheart) Still somebody's one and only love Yes, he's still (still) somebody's sweetheart Still somebody's sweetheart (still somebody's sweetheart) But, Shirley still waits by the zookeeper's gates in the sky He's still (still) somebody's sweetheart Still somebody's sweetheart (still somebody's sweetheart) Still somebody's one and only Guy Yes, he's still (still) somebody's sweetheart Still somebody's sweetheart (still somebody's sweetheart) Shirley still waits by the zookeeper's gates in the sky He's still (still) somebody's sweetheart Still somebody's sweetheart (still somebody's sweetheart) And now that he's gone, hes no longer alone With Guy (poor Guy)
