[Intro: 2-D & Redman]
Keepin' my groove on
Yeah, you can't keep a Gorilla out this motherfucker
Yeah, yo, oh my God, oh my God
Gorillaz runnin' down on you real hard
Oh my God, oh my God
Gorillaz runnin' down on you real hard

[Verse 1: Redman]
Yo they call me Redman on stage slash Gorilla
So big I ride on back of vans like Magilla
My chest is hairy as fuck my back as well
Shit my granddad was built like a half a whaile
We rip through cell doors we don't ask for bail
Happy Gilmore Gorilla whooping ass for real
Beat you down till they knock me for a night in jail
Then I'm back on purple hills so I can jack the jill
They pass the ? I'm drunk tipsy punk
My sweat become whisky I'm looking for Lewinsky
So I can get head, done, get off me girl
I'm crooked like white folks dancin offbeat
Gangsta, I'm waitin for that ape to cross me
Shut up, now you gotta pay for morphine
We are them Gorillaz you starvin the fillers
We deep like parliament members, we're carvin' up winners

[Bridge 1: Redman]
Yo, I hear Gorillaz goin
All my Gorillaz goin
Brick City Gorillaz goin
N.Y. Gorillaz goin
Californian Gorillaz goin
My Florida Gorillaz goin
My Texas Gorillaz goin
Shack Town Gorillaz goin

[Chorus: Noodle]
Here you go
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine

[Verse 2: Redman]
Yo, who's that ape? It's Mighty Joe Young
Lights, camera, action, roll drums
Now let me ask you what it feel like
With a banana in your tail pipe
Immortal, I walk the jungle with my balls showin
See me coming, better leave like when bar closing
At the bar posing with my Sean Combs brim
On the broad to get her bra open
See a Gorilla take it they don't ask
I'm pissed on the boss desk when he laid on cash
My whole state, I'm a grown ass man
Sole survivor I write with Bobby Womack hands
Holding me down when I'm the one
The last one with a bomb and the timer on
You are them Gorillaz you starvin the fillers
We deep like parliament members, we're carvin' up winners

[Bride 2: Redman]
Yo, I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, my Gorillaz goin
My Minnesota Gorillaz goin
My Detroit Gorillaz goin
My Oakland Gorillaz goin
My Indiana Gorillaz goin
My Atlanta Gorillaz goin
Yo, my Canada Gorillaz goin
I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, all my Gorillaz goin
Ha, I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, I hear Gorillaz goin
Yo, all my Gorillaz goin

[Chorus: Noodle]
Here you go
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine (Gorilla)
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine (Gorilla)
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine (Gorilla)
Get the cool, get the cool shoe shine (Gorilla)

Gorillaz

Gorillaz is a virtual band created by Damon Albarn of Britpop band Blur and Jamie Hewlett, co-creator of the comic book Tank Girl. The band is composed of four animated band Stuart “2D” Pot (vocals, keyboard), Murdoc Niccals (bass), Noodle (lead guitar and occasional vocals), and Russel Hobbs (drums and percussion). Murdoc was based on Keith Richards from a photo by David Bailey and 2D was based on a friend of Damon and Jamie’s.

The project began as an experiment and commentary on popular media. It was inspired by Hewlett and Albarn binge watching MTV when the two were housemates in London. Hewlett

If you watch MTV for too long, it’s a bit like hell – there’s nothing of substance there. So we got this idea for a cartoon band, something that would be a comment on that.
