(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 lives way back a long time ago (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Well, this cat's name is Alley-Oop (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 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) Wearin' clothes from a wildcat's hide (Alley-Oop) He's the king of the jungle jive (Look at that cave man go!) (Scream!) He rides through the jungle, tearin' limbs off of trees (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Knockin' 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) Wears clothes from a wildcat's hide (Alley-Oop) He's the king of the jungle jive (Look at that cave man go!) (Scream!) There he goes (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Look at that cave man go (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) He sure is hip, ain't he? (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Like what's happening (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) He's too much (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Ride, daddy, ride (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Hi-yo, dinosaur (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Ride, daddy, ride (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Get 'em, man (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop) Like hips ville (Alley-Oop, oop, oop, oop-oop)
