Magilla Gorilla - Goofy talking ape on the half-hour Hanna-Barbera cartoon THE MAGILLA GORILLA SHOW/SYN/1964. Magilla Gorilla (voice of Allen Melvin) wore pants, suspenders and a derby hat. He lived in Los Angeles at Peebles Pet Shop owned by the mustachioed Mr. Peebles who hoped to find a customer willing to buy Magilla as a pet (but generally there were no takers). The theme song intoned "...Won't you buy him? Take him home and try him. Magilla Gorilla for sale!"

Theme Song Lyrics

We’ve got a gorilla for sale
Magilla Gorilla for sale.
Won’t you buy him,
Take him home and try him,
Gorilla for sale.

Don’t you want a little gorilla you can call your own,
A gorilla who’ll be with ya when you’re all alone?

Voice: How much is that gorilla in the window?

Take our advice,
At any price,
A gorilla like Magilla is mighty nice.
Gorilla, Magilla Gorilla for sale.
