Alley Oop

There's a man in the funny papers we all know
He lived way back a long time ago
He don't eat nothing but-a bear cats do
Well this cats name is-a Alley Oop
He got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur
And he can knuckle your head before you count to four
He got a big ugly club and a head full-a hair
Like great big lions and grizzly bears
He's the toughest man there is alive
Wearin' clothes from a wildcats hide
He's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!)
He rides thru the jungle tearin' limbs off-a trees
Knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know bett'r
'Cause he's a mean motha'h scoota'h and a bad go-getta'h
He's the toughest man there is alive
Wearin' clothes from a wildcats hide
He's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!)
There he goes, look at that cave man go
He sure is hip ain't he?
Like what's happening?
He's too much
Ride, daddy, ride
Hi-yo dinosaur
Ride, daddy, ride
