Opening Theme Lyrics
We got a gorilla for sale!
Magilla Gorilla for sale!
Won't you buy him, take him home and try him?
Gorilla for sale!
See in the window, Magilla Gorilla.
Full of charm and appeal.
Handsome, elegant, intelligent, sweet.
He's really IDEAL!
Don't you want a little gorilla you can call your own?
A gorilla who'd be with you when you're alone?
Magilla: This is The Magilla Gorilla Show!
Starring me and Mr Peebles,
With Mushmouse and Punkin' Puss,
and Ricochet Rabbet and Droop-a-long.

A gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice!
Gorilla, Magilla Gorilla for sale!
