Cavemen! Songtext

von Ralph's World

Cavemen, we are cavemen
In this prehistoric place, so many dangers we must face
Cavemen, we are cavemen
We are hunters, we are kings!
We can chop and scrape and sing...

Put your fur and sandals on
We're off to hunt the mastadon
We're cavemen! Cavemen!

Shake a leg and raise your spear
The world will know that we are here!
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!
In this prehistoric place, so many dangers we must face
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!

So put your fur and sandals on
We're off to hunt the mastadon
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!

We live in a world without cellphones
No Frappacinos for me
We've got famine and sabertooth tigers
But when the world is Mesozoic it's great to be heroic!

Cavemen! We are cavemen! Cavemen! We are cavemen!

(spoken:)
A: C'mon Grog, let's go hunt some dinosaurs.

B: Dinosaurs have been extinct for millions of years -
Cavemen did not hunt dinosaurs.

A: Oh, no wonder I can't find any... hey, what that you're doing there?

B: Can't you see I'm painting?

A: You call that painting? I don't understand - where's the depth of perception?
The narrative? The post-Modern references to Klimt and Modigliani?

B: It's a mastadon.

A: Looks like a balloon with legs and a bunch of pins in it to me.

B: It's being hunted. See, there you are, throwing your spear.

A: Oh, that's a spear, oh, I see. I look pretty good there, the big muscles,
Strong chin... hey Grog, this painting is making me hungry. Let's go hunt.

B: That's an excellent idea. I could eat a horse, if I knew what a horse was...

A: Yeah, they're still evolving, don't really look like horses yet, do they?

(singing:)
Put your fur and sandals on
We're off to hunt the mastadon
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!

Shake a leg and raise your spear
The world will know that we are here!
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!
In this prehistoric place, so many dangers we must face
We're cavemen! We are cavemen!

So put your fur and sandals on
We're off to hunt the mastadon
We're cavemen! We are cavemen! We are cavemen!
