(Oop-oop, oop, oop-oop)

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)



There's a man in the funny papers we all know

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

He lives 'way back a long time ago

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Well, this cat's name is-a Alley-Oop

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)



He got a chauffeur that's a genuwine dinosawruh

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

And he can knuckle your head before you count to fawruh

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)



He got a big ugly club and a head fulla hairuh

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Like great big lions and grizzly bearuhs

(Alley-Oop, 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-oop)

Knockin' great big monstahs dead on their knees

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

The cats don't bug him cuz they know bettah

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Cuz he's a mean motah scootah and a bad go-gettah

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

(Alley-Oop) He's the toughest man there is alive

(Alley-Oop) Wears 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,

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Look at that cave man go

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

He sure is hip ain't he

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Like what's happening

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

He's too much

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Ride, Daddy, ride

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Hi-yo dinosawruh

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)

Ride, Daddy, ride

Like--hipsville

(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
