Lyrics
I knew a gorilla
I was acquainted with a gorilla.
The Gorilla your dreams
This gorilla represents the object of your dreams.
She was quite a bit nasty hairy and mean
The gorilla was unpleasantly hairy and had a mean demeanor.
She was as mean as mean as they come
She was extremely mean, among the meanest.
when she said skedaddle man you better run
When she said "skedaddle," you had to run; she was commanding.
she was stronger than any guy that I knew
She possessed greater strength than any man known.
she could break you in half or break you in two
Her strength allowed her to break people in half or in two.
no matter what you thought you could do
Regardless of your capabilities, you couldn't match her strength.
the gorilla your dreams was a nightmare in fact
The dream gorilla was a nightmare in reality.
she was all that you needed all that you lack
She encompassed all that you desired and everything you lacked.
and if you were smart you'd leave her alone
If you were wise, you'd avoid her.
or she'd pick her teeth with your bones
Otherwise, she would use your bones as toothpicks.
gorilla you dreams what are you made of
Questioning the essence of the dream gorilla and its composition.
you can't help your fantasies or who you will love
One cannot control fantasies or the object of one's love.
you just got to play it play it where it lays
Encouragement to navigate life's challenges as they come.
true for tomorrow true yesterdays
Truth applies to both the future and the past.
I thought I was tough but I cracked like an egg
Realization of personal vulnerability, breaking down like an egg.
I thought I was ready but I just had to beg
Despite thinking one was prepared, there was a need for begging.
love isn't all that it wants or it seems
Love is more complex than it appears or desires.
not when you have the gorilla your dreams
Especially when the object of desire is the gorilla of your dreams.
