I came out of the cave lookin' angry and mean
Strangest animal they'd ever seen
Shakin' its head, kickin' its feet
To the rhythm of the hypnotic jungle beat
Was it a giant they saw?
Was it a dinosaur?
It was a caveman
He was a brave man
It was a caveman
Sabre-tooth skin hung around its wait
Red and white clay painted on its face
Up on its feet reachin' for the sky
Everybody wondering why why why
Was it a giant they saw?
Was it a dinosaur?
It was a caveman
He was a brave man
It was a caveman
The creatures of the everglades
Were taken by surprise
Was this another fool
Of a feature of an animal
Whose make up was exceptionally wise
Was it a giant they saw?
Was it a dinosaur?
Was it a ghoat they'd seen
Lost in a time machine
Were they face to face
With a thing from outer space?
Old reptile had watery eyes
Green Pterodactyl was holding his sides
Poor Godzilla couldn't follow the beat
Everybody laughed and stomped their feet
I rubbed a couple of sticks and the fire got it
Got a little bit of dirt, started working on it
Built a ship and a train and an aeroplane
Before they knew it they had acid rain
Was it a giant they saw?
Was it a dinosaur?
Was it a ghoat they'd seen
Lost in a time machine
Were they face to face
With a thing from outer space?
