Responsible. Just the sound of the word is old hat —
Crazy as a camper full of cats
Crackling with sound and furry
Pounding home that I should scurry.
I know the smell of fear
and smells just like gin and spaghetti.
Good God I’m more than ready
To say as he says and do as he does.
And I’d dearly love to be anywhere but here —
Just drive and drive, but never have to steer.
Run away. Far away.
You don’t know where I would fly:
Off the handle?
Out to the zoo?
Mr. Movies is showing me what I can do.
I stomp around, I stomp around, I stomp around.
Like an 800 pound gorilla.
I stomp around, I stomp around, I stomp around.
Like I own the town.
Like I’ll split the ground.
Like an 800 pound gorilla.
Sing song — King Kong — damn dirty apes.
Show me the shoreline; I’ll show you the shapes:
The copper crown of liberty’s shade,
The languid eyes, the serious gaze
Above the fabric dripping down like honey from above,
More than money do I love
That she is French, lives in New York,
Always wears sandals, and carries a torch.
I stomp around, I stomp around, I stomp around.
Like an 800 pound gorilla.
I stomp around, I stomp around, I stomp around.
Like I own the town.
Like I’ll split the ground.
Like an 800 pound gorilla.
