Other cavemen did the same

All their heads were lum-py.

Everyone was always scared

And went around all jum-py.

So the cavemen came to feel

That violence was just aw-ful.

They made a rule that steal-

ing things

And whacking was unlaw-ful.

But Oog, he liked to whack

and steal

'Twas in a caveman's blo-ood.

It made him feel all proud

and strong

And like a major stu-ud.

A peaceful Oogie was all sad

'Twas one thing or another.

He became a nervous wreck and

Blamed stuff on his mo-ther.

We aren't cavemen anymore --

We're whiners and we're grouches.

We spill our troubles to some clowns

While lying on their couches.
