there's a man in the funny papers we all know
He lived way back a long time ago
He don't eat nothing buta bearcats do
Well this cats name isa Alley Oop
He got as chauffeur that's a genuwine dinosawruh
And he can knuckle your head before you count to fawruh
He got a big ugly club and a head fulla hairuh
Like great big lions and grizzly bearuhs
he's the toughest man there is alive 
Wearin clothes from a wildcats hide 
he's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!!) 
He rides through the jungle tearin limbs offa trees 
Knockin great big monstahs dead on their knees 
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know bettah 
'cause he's a mean motah scootah and a bad go-gettah 
he's the toughest man there is alive 
Wearin clothes from a wildcats hide 
he's the king of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go!!) 
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
