ROCK WITH THE CAVEMAN
(Lionel Bart / Michael Pratt / Tommy Steele)

Tommy Steele - 1956



The old-time cave dweller lived in a cave
Here's what he did we he wanted a rave
He took a stick and he drew on the wall
Man, a fellah had to settle for
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Baby, make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight

His way with women was rather neat
He'd love a girl right off her feet
You know the lyric writers would never lie
It's where they got the sayin' "starry eyed"
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Make with the caveman, oh boy
Shake with the caveman
Stalactites, stalagmiite
Hold your baby very tight

(Saxophone Solo)

Piltdown poppa sings this song
"Archaeology's done me wrong"
The British Museum's got my head
Most unfortunate 'cause I ain't dead
Rock with the caveman
Roll with the caveman
Shake with the caveman
Break with the caveman
Make with the caveman
C-A-V-E-M-A-N, Caveman!
