Magilla gorilla and phyllis diller
Having lucnch with a serial killer
Talking about that pain in your heart
Talking about a pretty blue scar
Talking just to keep calm
Phyllis wasn't feeling well
She'd forgotten if she had fell
The sweet gorilla took her hand
Noticed she'd lost her wedding band but
He was scared to tell her
I'm afraid to die
I wanna die
The killer said I'm of foam
And I can't remember where I put my comb
If that don't give me the right to cry
What if I told you I kissed the sky?
Would you mind if I killed you?
Magilla remembered being young
And how he used to fold his tongue
Then he remembered being old
And how his lips and feet were cold, but still he wanted
To live forever
