A Song the Gorilla Sang To Me

Gorilla My Dreams sang me a moody torch song with these lyrics:

Why does your soul feel like a hole
Wherein a mole used to hide
Why does your heart fall all apart
It will not start deep inside.

Why won't somebody make my hot toddy
Oh lawdy lawdy, oh no
Why is it scary here on the ferry
With Curley Larry and Moe.

Your sense of humor is grabbing me by the funny bone and throwing me up and down into the air with glee, Jessica.Maybe it's your Gorilla?
