When I Grow up I'm Gonna Be a Gorilla
Embracing Wild Ambitions: Becoming a Gorilla
Lyrics
When I grow up
Expressing anticipation for the future.
I’m gonna be
Aspiring to become something significant.
The biggest strongest beast you’ve ever seen
Desiring to be a powerful and formidable creature.
And my life’ll be
Imagining a unique and interesting life.
Anything but vanilla
Rejecting a mundane or ordinary existence.
Cause when I grow up I’m gonna be a gorilla
Reiterating the ambition to become a gorilla.
a gorilluuuuuuu
Emphasizing the declaration to be a gorilla with enthusiastic repetition.
a gorillayyyyyy
-a gorilliiiiii
-a gorillaaaaaaaa
-I’ll have big hands (great big hands)
Envisioning physical characteristics of a gorilla, emphasizing large hands, feet, and a preference for bananas.
And great big feet (great big feet)
-And all of the bananas I can eat
-And I’m gonna rule from Albuquerque to Manila
Expressing the desire to rule over a vast geographical area.
Cause when I grow up I’m gonna be a gorilla
Reiterating the ambition to become a gorilla and rule.
a gorilloooooooo
Repeating the declaration with enthusiasm.
a gorilleeeeeeee
-a gorilliiiiiii
-a gorillaaaaaaaa
-a gorilloooooooo
Continuing the enthusiastic repetition.
a gorilleeeeeeee
-a gorilliiiiiii
-a gorillaaaaaaaa
-And my life’ll be
Reiterating the desire for a non-vanilla, interesting life.
Anything but vanilla
-Cause when I grow up I’m gonna be a gorilla
Affirming the determination to become a gorilla.
And my life’ll be
Repeating the rejection of a vanilla life.
Anything but vanilla
-Cause when I grow up x4
Reaffirming the determination with repeated declaration.
I’m gonna be a gorilla
Finalizing the ambition to become a gorilla.
