[Verse 1] I was tromping the jungles there was nothing to find           No mastodon so that I could be the guy that provides             With empty hands I headed on home Live long enough you’re gonna choke on a bone hey hey       [Pre-Chorus] Hey hey That’s just the way that it goes     [Chorus] Now I’m sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits And I don’t want to die ’cause there’s 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 [Verse 2] Each time I wriggle I sink a little deeper ah damn           So let me try to persuade you all to lend me a hand             Good with a spear and settling fights Do anything for the good of the tribe hey hey    [Pre-Chorus] Could you throw me a rope? (Throw me a rope) [Chorus] Now I’m sinking in the La Brea Tar Pits And I don’t want to die ’cause there’s 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 [Outro] |        |       |       |      | |       |       |       |       |
