LYRICS:
I’m just a lonely cave-girl searching for a date
Looking for cave romance or at least a caveman date.
My mamma says I must wait here until the moon is bright
With cakes, milk and honey as gifts for the Gods
Or as snack food for Mr. Right.
​
Now crawl around three times on your hands and knees
And if the face of a handsome man comes into view
Then he’s your caveman love.
​
I think I must look really silly
What caveman in his right mind would go for a crawling, circling cave-girl like –
Oh, are you the man for me?
​
My handsome caveman husband is all I’d hoped he would be
He likes to go out hunting then I cook it for his tea.
I promise to love him forever until he’s old and grey
He’ll live to the grand age of thirty at which point he’ll probably pass away.
​
But that doesn’t mean you stop loving him 'cos now you have to prepare
A burial to show how much you care for your caveman love.
​
First I set fire to my husband then carefully cut off his skin
Boil in a pot some oysters and snakes, let the funeral begin.
Drop in some limpets and winkles and sprinkles of mouse, toad and shrew
Then put out the fire with the cauldron and say au revoir to my caveman love.
My caveman love.
Caveman love.
