|
The whole thing started at the dawn of man |
|
He was sitting on a rock with a club in his hand |
|
The very first time he laid eyes on her |
|
She was dressed to kill in a saber-tooth fur |
|
The hadn't invented any words to say |
|
But he asked her in a primitive way |
|
Do you want to go back to the cave |
|
Back to the cave make a little fire |
|
A man and a woman and a primal desire |
|
That's the way it is that's the way it was |
|
Before he made the wheel man was making love |
|
A million years later in a |
|
Texas bar |
|
A cowboy's listening to steel guitar |
|
When she says hi my name's |
|
Irene She's wearing bright red ropers and tight blue jeans |
|
His eyes light up and his brain goes dim |
|
He tries to be cool but she hears him say |
|
You want to go back to the cave |
|
Back to the cave make a little fire |
|
A man and a woman and a primal desire |
|
That's the way it is that's the way it was |
|
Before he made the wheel man was making love |
|
So you be |
|
Wilma and |
|
I'll be Fred |
|
We'll throw the cat out the window put the kids to bed |
|
Take a little trip through history |
|
Do what's always come naturally |
|
In the time machine at the end of the hall |
|
We can be a couple of |
|
Neanderthals |
|
Do you want to go back to the cave |
|
Back to the cave make a little fire |
|
A man and a woman and a primal desire |
|
That's the way it is that's the way it was |
|
Before he made the wheel man was making love |
|
Don't blame us for the way we behave |
|
The only way we know goes back to the cave |
|
It's been done instinctively |
|
Through pre-history |
|
The road to the future |
|
Leads back to the cave |
