(Never, Oh Never, Whatever You Do, Sing A) Gorilla Song


You can sing about June,
You can sing about tune,
Any subject at all will do. But, oh, heavens above!
One thing that I love---
Can't I sing about that thing too?

(CHORUS)

Never, oh never, whatever you do
Sing a gorilla song,
Never, oh never, whatever you do
To do so is terribly wrong.
You can sing of a thrilla,
A man from Manila,
And you will be perfectly strong,
But never, oh never, whatever you do
Sing a gorilla song (so wrong),
Sing a gorilla song.

You may sing of the shape
Of a beautiful ape,
An ape who lives in the public zoo.
An orangutan's fine
And a chimp's just divine
But there's one thing that will never do.

(Repeat CHORUS)
