Alley Oop - The Hollywood Argyles

Alley Oop

The Hollywood Argyles

(Dallas Frazier, LUTE 5905, 1960)

(Alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
(Alley oop, oop, oop-oop)
Theres a man in the funny papers we all know
He lived way back a long time ago
He don't eat nothin' but a bear cat stew
Well, this cat's name is-a Alley oop

He got a chauffeur that's a genuine dinosaur
And he can knuckle your head before you count too four

He got a big ugly club and a head full of hair
Like great big lions and grizzly bears
(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 a-trees
Knockin' great big monsters dead on their knees
The cats don't bug him 'cause they know better
'Cause he's a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter
(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)

[Spoken]
There he goes, look at that cave man go
He sure is hip ain't he?
Like what's happening?
He's too much
Ride, daddy, ride
Hi-yo dinosaur
Ride, daddy, ride
Get 'em, man
Like hipsville
