Name: Back When I Was a Caveman
Duration: P00H03M16S
Description: Austin: I believe this started as a joke and then morphed into a song. A cartoonish ode to the "bad old days" of the single life and prehistoric puns. I remember Zach came up with the "Spanks the plank..." line, and also figured out this can be played on a Wiggles guitar.

lyrics

Back when I was a caveman
swinging through the treetops
I'd hop on my pterydactyl
or climb on Triceratops
then maybe jump in the Cadillac '62,000 BC
I kept my clubs in a golf bag on the passenger seat
right next to me

Back when I was a caveman
I picked up girls by the hair
hit on the ladies at the club,
maybe use my club to spare
back to my stone apartment
I never fought underwear
but the sabertooth tiger futon
it always gave 'em a scare!

Back when I was a caveman
I cut my feet on the rocks
I burned 'em up on the pavement
cuz only pussies wore socks
God forbid with their sandals
or prehistoric Crocs
but we all wore motorcycle helmets
cuz of Dinosaur Cox (tm)
swingin'
Jeffrey Dinosaur Cox
on the bass guitar
Mr. Zachary Adams
spanks the plank over there
I'm Austin Cliffe
bangin' on these skins
tell ya bout a time much closer to the time
around when time began
back when I was a caveman
oh, yes, I was a caveman
card carryin' Caveman Local 242 Union Member
amen
