Alley Oop Lyrics

(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 bearcat stew
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Well, this cat's name is a-Alley Oop
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)

He's got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
And he can knuckle your head before you count to four
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
He's got a big ugly club and a headful of hair
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Like great big lions and grizzly bears
(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 caveman go
He rides through the jungle tearin' limbs off-a trees
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Knocking great big monsters dead on their knees
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know better
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
'Cause he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter
(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 caveman go

There he goes
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Look at that caveman go
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
He sure is hip, ain't he?
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Ride, daddy, ride
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
Heigh-ho, dinosaur
(Alley Oop Oop, Oop, Oop Oop)
