Troglodyte
by: Jimmy Castor BunchWhat we're gonna do right here is go back, way back,
back into time.
When the only people that existed were
troglodytes...cave men...
cave women...Neanderthal...troglodytes. Let's take the
average
cave man at home, listening to his stereo. Sometimes
he'd get up,
try to do his thing. He'd begin to move, something like
this:
"Dance...dance". When he got tired of dancing alone,
he'd look
in the mirror: "Gotta find a woman gotta find a woman
gotta find a
woman gotta find a woman". He'd go down to the lake
where all the
woman would be swimming or washing clothes or
something. He'd look
around and just reach in and grab one. "Come
here...come here".
He'd grab her by the hair. You can't do that today,
fellas, cause
it might come off. You'd have a piece of hair in your
hand and she'd
be swimming away from you (ha-ha). This one woman just
lay there,
wet and frightened. He said: "Move...move". She got up.
She was a
big woman. BIG woman. Her name was Bertha. Bertha Butt.
She was one
of the Butt sisters. He didn't care. He looked up at
her and said:
"Sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me sock it to
me sock it to me
sock it to me sock it to me sock it to me!". She looked
down on him.
She was ready to crush him, but she began to like him.
She said
(falsetto):
"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". He said: "Wha?". She said
(falsetto):
"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy". You know what he said? He
started it way
back then. I wouldn't lie to you. When she said
(falsetto)
"I'll sock it to ya, Daddy" he said "Right on! Right
on! Hotpants!
