In the Days of the Caveman Lyrics
When you go on camping trips you're stuck right out in nature
Foraging the forests like a primate
Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates
Your thumb and forefinger supposed to show you're not a wild beast
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bedtime
See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
Sometimes when I lie awake I hear the rainfall on my tent fly
I think of all the insects that are sleeping
And wonder if the animals are dreaming
See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors
And when I finally get to sleep, I dream in technicolor
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
Alive and being fed inside a zoo cage
See in the shapes of my body
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
In the days of the caveman and mammoths and glaciers
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors
(2x)
Foraging the forests like a primate
Using sharpened tools instead of hotplates
You can hear their noises at night time
They don't have to keep a certain bedtime
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
I think of all the insects that are sleeping
And wonder if the animals are dreaming
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors
I see creatures come back from the Ice Age
Alive and being fed inside a zoo cage
Leftover parts from apes and monkeys
Bugs and trees were your food then; no pyjamas or doctors
(2x)

this song!!! i love this song!!! this always reminds me of my crazy camping trips i went on when i was a kid with my crazy family. when i sing this song i always sing it with a grin
Sad! Animals being fed inside a zoo cage..
He has the perfect voice for this song. In the beginning if you listen carefully, you can hear a duck quacking in the background.
the beginning noises are the best because if you've ever been wilderness hiking someplace nice (i went to isle royale more times that i can remeber) it always brings you back to those evenings sitting just listening
It is about man being disassociated from nature, living a sterile existence, and what it means to go back to cooking over fire, hunting, and farming.
