Oingo Boingo - Ballad of The Caveman lyrics

rate me

I'll tell you 'bout a caveman lived a million years ago

When mother earth was young and dinosaurs walked to and fro

His skull contained but half a brain but he didn't mind at all

He's a hot shot cavemanyah do dah (? )

Who loved to fight and brawl

He walked the misty plate in time to find whatever he could find

Then at last he saw her therecovered with hair

A cavegirl looking right his wayhalf nakedhalf well who can say

Such a thing he'd never seen beforewell then need I tell you more

The caveman fell in lovelovelove

And so he wielded his club

Oooh oooh what could he do?

You can't blame a fellow for trying his luck

He's just a simple caveman who wanted to---

Well when the cavegirl came around she had some things to relate

About the methods he used to communicate

And she said--

(female spoken)

I never expected a caveman to exhibit much finesse

But a fifty pound club ain't exactly a caress

So if you want to call meyou better learn to talk

Until you learn some manners buddy

Take a walk!
