PRIMATES SWINGIN’ ©2008 Jefferson Pepper, American Fallout Records.com

Six million years ago today hominids were on their way / The first known by consensus was Sahelanthropus tchadensis / Two million years ago they weren’t no fools, those hominids started makin’ tools / Primates swingin’ on branches, primates swingin’ on branches / Became cowboys ridin’ on ranches and cool cats jivin’ at dances / Let’s keep on makin’ advances, we’re all primates swingin’ on branches / Then came Homo habilis, nobody’d ever seen a guy like this / Then came Homo ergaster who soon became the master / Replaced by Homo erectus who had a better prospectus / Primates swingin’ on branches, primates swingin’ on branches / Became cowboys ridin’ on ranches and cool cats jivin’ at dances / Let’s keep on makin’ advances, we’re all primates swingin’ on branches / They got tired of sittin’ in traffic...ahhh, so they started leavin’ Africa / Some went to Asia but some said nope-a, we wanna go northwest to Europa / Some became Neanderthals and they sewed up mammoth overalls / Primates swingin’ on branches, primates swingin’ on branches / Became cowboys ridin’ on ranches and cool cats jivin’ at dances / Let’s keep on makin’ advances, we’re all primates swingin’ on branches / And when they took the census another branch was heidelbergensis / Who evolved into Homo sapiens and thus began the modern trend / And if we’re smart while we’re in our prime we’ll be around for a long, long time / Primates swingin’ on branches, primates swingin’ on branches / Became cowboys ridin’ on ranches and cool cats jivin’ at dances / Let’s keep on makin’ advances, we’re all primates swingin’ on branches
