The Neanderthal Song

Who killed off, who killed off?

 Who killed off the Neanderthals?

Will you tell me staff?

Who killed off?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

 


Oh, were they getting soft?

Had they had enough?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?


Did they have a long skull?

Were they really too droll?

Oh, who killed off the Neanderthals

 


Who killed off, who killed off?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

Oh, was it you or was it me?

Was it Las Champs or destiny?


Who killed off that Beastie boy?

Was it the man with a new toy?

Who killed off, who killed off?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

 

Were they invited in?

for a glass of Champagne

By Cro Magnon Man

Did he sin, did he go insane, 

did he poison the well?

or leave him outside

In the frozen hell

With no place to hide

 

Oh, Cro Magnon man, was it you?

Was it you who drew the last line?

Well, they drew the short straw


And then they were no more

And that was the decline 

Of the Neanderthal line

 

Who killed off, who killed off?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

Tell me who killed off, who killed off

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

 Did he walk with a limp

A little too like a chimp

A little hunched over

More like the dog Rover

Did they need to stoop? 

when they had to poop

Were they not upright citizens?

Oh, who has the right to criticize them?

Who killed off, who killed off?

Who killed off the Neanderthals?

Tell me who killed off, who killed off

Who killed off the Neanderthals?
