Listen to Lincoln - The One and Only Ivan Lyrics

I'm the one and only Ivan
I am alive in
The Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade
I sit in my domain
Watch T.V. and draw and paint
Swapping stories with Stella and Ruby
About the way things used to be
I'm the one and only Ivan
I'm a mighty silverback gorilla
And a real big thriller
To the people who believe for me to be
Like the mean, hairy beast
Painted on the billboard
If only they all knew
About the sort of things I like to do
They wouldn't think that I'm so scary
After all these years
Trapped up in here
All alone
I wonder if this cage is really my home
I'm the one and only Ivan
I am alive in
The Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade
I sit in my domain
Watch T.V. and draw and paint
Swapping stories with Stella and Ruby
About the way things used to be
I'm the one and only Ivan
Bob likes to sleep on my tummy
Even though he says I smell kind of funny
But if my belly is smelly, you can tell he doesn't mind too much
And there's Julia
Who is a wonderful friend
(And a friend's a thing I would recommend)
She gives me paint and paper and pencils and such
But after all these years
Trapped up in here
All alone
I wonder if this cage is really my home
I'm the one and only Ivan
I am alive in
The Exit 8 Big Top Mall and Video Arcade
I sit in my domain
Watch T.V. and draw and paint
Swapping stories with Stella and Ruby
About the way things used to be
I'm the one and only Ivan!
I'm the one and only Ivan!
I'm the one and only Ivan!
I'm the one and only Ivan!
