Mayfield Four - Backslide lyrics
Hey hey hey
Da da da
That’s what I say
Da da da
There’s a man in the funny papers we all know
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
He lived way back a long time ago
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Well he don’t eat nothin’ but bearcat stew
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Oh well this cat’s name is a-alley oop
Alley oop oopoop oop 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 caveman go!
He’s got a chauffeur that’s a genuine dinosaur
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
And he can knuckle your head before you count to four
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
He’s got a big ugly club and a headful of hair
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
He’s oohhhh eatin’ grizzly bear
(*laughter*)
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Forgot the words!
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 caveman go!
(*scream*)
He rides through the jungle tearin’ limbs offa trees
(*scream*)
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
And knocking great big monsters dead on their knees
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Other cats don’t bug him ’cos they know better
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
’cos he’s a mean motor scooter and a bad go-getter
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Welluhhe’s the toughest man there is alive
Alley oop
Wears clothes from a wildcat’s hide
Alley oop
He’s a hully gully king of jive
(*laugh*)
Well look at that caveman go!
(*scream*)
There he goes
(there he goes.)
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Look at that caveman go
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Ridedaddyride
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Heigh-hodinosaur
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Oh my goodnesswhat a big brute he is! hm!
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Ohhow would you like a dinosaur like thatfor your own? mm!
(*laughter*)
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
Alley oop oopoop oop oop
(g minor. d7.)
(what now? what now? )
(just give me a minute.)
(brianI need a b flat [...]. you know I can’t read.)
