(Alley-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 live way back a long time ago
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Yeah, 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)
(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 caveman go, ow
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
He 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 a-great big lions and a-grizzly bears
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop) Yeah, 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 caveman go, ow
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Well, he rides through the jungle tearin' limbs off of trees
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
A-knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Yeah, the cats don't bug him 'cause they know better
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Mmm, he's a mean motor-scooter and a bad go-getter
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop) Hey, 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 caveman go, ow
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
There he goes
Ride, Daddy, ride
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
Hi-ho, dinosaur
(Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
