Dante & The Evergreens – Alley-Oop lyrics
Alley Oop, oop, oop oop
Alley Oop, oop, oop oop

There's a man in the
Funny papers we all know
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)
He lived way back a long time ago
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)

He don't eat nothing
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)

(Alley Oop) he's the
Toughest man there is alive
(Alley Oop) wearing clothes
From a wildcat's hide
(Alley Oop) he's the king
Of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go)

(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 head full 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) wearing clothes
From a wildcat's hide
(Alley Oop) he's the king
Of the jungle jive
(Look at that cave man go)

(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)
He rides through the jungle
Tearing limbs of off 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) wearing clothes
From a wildcat's hide
(Alley Oop) He's the
Hully gully king of jive
(Look at that cave man go)

There he goes
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)
Look at that cave man go
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)
Ride, daddy, ride
(Alley Oop, oop, oop, oop, oop)
Hi-ho dinosaur...
