Caveman
big block singsong Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My name is Dave
I live in a cave
Everythin's good
As it should be
In the prehistorical neighbourhood

Here's my cave
What a great location

Check out my interior decoration

There's a kitchen a bedroom
A bathroom with a shower
The floor is made of dirt
So its always growing flowers

So cool
Life on the rocks
I don't need to dress up
I don't even wear sock

There's peace and quiet
Not a lot of stress
Except for that volcano
Now that's a hot mess

My name is Dave
I live in a cave
Everythin's good
As it should be
In the prehistorical neighbourhood

There's the woolly mammoth with a sensitive trunk
With a nose like that she's not crazy about skunks

Here's my stick
I'm keepin' it as a pet
It's the safest pet that I've found yet

Not like my sabretooth tiger
Who likes to play chase
I think he's curious about the way that I taste

I'm Dave
I live in a cave
Everythin's good
As it should be
In the prehistorical neighbourhood

So much to do
Like pile up my rocks
Take an afternoon nature walk

Discover fire
For cookin' in the kitchen
Or work on my book
It's an historical fiction

I build a fast lookin' car
It's a pretty big deal
If I could only figure out how to invent the wheels

Meh I can't know it all
But at least I'm not a neanderthal

Sorry

What am I
I'm glad that you asked
I'm from thousands and thousands of years in the past

I'm the one that they all call paleolithic
I'm caveman Daveman
I'm terrific

I'm Dave
I live in a cave
Everythin's good
As it should be
In the prehistorical neighbourhood

I'm Dave

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song “Caveman” by Big Block Singsong describe the life of a caveman named Dave. He lives in a cave and everything is good in the prehistorical neighborhood. The lyrics paint a picture of a simple and peaceful life, with only occasional stresses like the nearby volcano. Dave's cave has everything he needs including a kitchen, a bedroom and a bathroom with a shower. Despite living in a cave, Dave is content with his life and doesn't need to dress up or even wear socks. He has a woolly mammoth for a neighbor, and he keeps a stick as a pet because it's the safest pet he's found yet. His sabretooth tiger likes to play chase and is probably curious about the way Dave tastes. Dave spends his days piling rocks and taking nature walks, discovering fire and even writing a book.

The song gives us an idea of what life could have been like during the Paleolithic era. The lyrics also illustrate the simplicity of life before modern technology and conveniences. The song promotes contentment with the simple things in life, as well as the importance of creativity and being resourceful.
