(Alley Oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley Oop, oop, oop-oop)
Theres 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 dont 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)


Thair 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 dinosawruh
Ride, Daddy, ride
Get `em, man
