Verse 1: Say have you seen my eight hundred pound gorilla? He used to be the monkey on my back. Some see him as a matter of contention and some don’t see him as a matter of fact.

Verse 2:
Say have you seen my friend of the simian persuasion? Fifty-seven stone, point fourteen. If you wish to take me at my word verbatim then you must accept him sight unseen.

Chorus: And not to muddy the complexities and to simplify the tone, he’s a subject best left unspoken, a topic best left alone. He’s the product and the remnants of when two strong wills collide and the only one left beside as pink elephants subside.

Verse 3: Say have you seen my evolutionary cousin? An apparition with a silver back. He seems content to strike defensive affectations until he’s ready to attack.

Verse 4: Bartender, please, another round of liquid courage. One for me and one for my argumentative friend. But please don’t serve a drink to my eight hundred pound gorilla, ‘cause monkey see, monkey do, me and you, he’ll have to condescend.
