Lyrics

I went down to the disco to have a dance
Hopin' to find a new romance
A foxy lady in a bright, red cape
Caught my eye and really drove me ape
All of a sudden, I was actin' deranged
My hair was growin' wild, and lookin' strange
She said I was the one who will bend and thrill her
'Cause she was searchin' for the Dis-Gorilla
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Dis-Gorilla, lady killer (Ooh, ooh)
Dis-Gorilla, knows how to thrill her (Ooh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
The music stopped and we got off the floor
The crowd went bananas and begged for more
Now I'm the king of the disco villa
Affectionately known as the Dis-Gorilla
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ha-hoo-hoo-ooh-ooh
Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Dis-Gorilla, lady killer (Ooh, ooh)
Dis-Gorilla, knows how to thrill her (Ooh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (I need a lady)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Every night as I lay on my pillow
I dream of the time I was the Dis-Gorilla
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Mm, Jane, grab hold a vine)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Hey baby, let us monkey around)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Uh, ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Oh-oh-oh-ha, heh, ra-ta-ta-ta, cha-cha-cha-cha)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Ha-ha, bananas are for you)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla (Hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo)
Disco, Dis-Gorilla
