(Alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
There's a man in the funny papers we all know (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
He lived 'way back a long time ago (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
Well this cat's name is-a alley oop (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
He got a chauffeur that's a genuwine dinosawruh (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
And he can knuckle your head before you count to fawruh (alley oop, oop, oop-
Oop)
He got a big ugly club and a head fulla hairuh (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
Like great big lions and grizzly bearuhs (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley oop) he's the toughest man there is alive
(Alley oop) wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide
(Alley oop) he's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!!) (scream)
He rides thru the jungle tearin' limbs offa trees (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
Knockin' great big monstahs dead on their knees (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
The cats don't bug him cuz they know bettah (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
Cuz he's a mean motah scootah and a bad go-gettah (alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley oop) he's the toughest man there is alive
(Alley oop) wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide
(Alley oop) he's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!!) (scream)
