<poem>
I was tromping the jungles, there was nothing to find
I was tromping the jungles
No mastadons so that I could be the guy that provides
There was nothin' to find
With empty hands, I headed on home
No mastodon
Live long enough, you're gonna choke on a bone, hey hey
So that I could be the guy that provides
 
With empty hands
Hey hey
I headed on home
Live long enough you're gonna choke on a bone, hey hey
That's just the way that it goes
That's just the way that it goes


Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
Now I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
I don't want to die, 'cause there still so much to give
And I don't want to die ‘cause there's still so much to give
I'm sinking; could you give me a lift?
I'm sinking, could you give me a lift?
Wanna make an escape, but don't know where to begin
Wanna make an escape, but don't know where to begin


Each time I wiggle I sink a little deeper, ah damn
Each time I wriggle I sink a little deeper, aw damn
So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand
Good with a spear and settling fights
Good with a spear
And settling fights
Do anything for the good of the tribe, hey hey
Do anything for the good of the tribe, hey hey
Could you throw me a rope? (Throw me a rope)
Could you throw me a rope
 
'Cause I'm sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits
And I don't want to die, 'cause there still so much to give
I'm sinking; could you give me a lift?
Wanna make an escape, but don't know where to begin
