I'm sure you've heard
The Stone Age occurred
For two and a half million years
But there's more of Stone Age
To engage
Than maybe at first appears
Dinosaurs, Neanderthals
Lets make this clearer
Didn't live together
Came from different eras
That's not all I can tell you
So much more to be known
About the many phases
In the ages of stone
Shoo be do be do a
It's all the range
Skiddly bob do a
Brush up on the Stone Age
Oh yeah!
All right!
It's fine to define the era Palaeolithic
But you're gonna have to be a little more specific
Do you mean lower, when ancient beings first used tools?
Or middle Palaeolithic, when Neanderthals ruled?
That's when homo sapiens start to emerge
But just in Africa- it's long before the global surge
Not until upper Palaeolithic, 40 000 years ago
Did Neanderthals and homo sapiens say hello
Neanderthal and homo sapiens
Livin' in caveman harmony!
Language was invented, cave paintings art
Then Palaeolithic ended which, meant the start
Of phase two be do be do a
Turn a new page
Skiddly bop do a
Bug up on the Stone Age
This is where it starts to get all scientific
Palaeolithic's followed by the era Mesolithic
Mesolithic's wiped out by the Ice Age- horrific
After which the Neolithic age was terrific
Man learned to farm, built homes so they could settle
Then some other folks turned up and they discovered metal
Bigger men from Europe found bronze and outgrown
The simple and traditional ways of stone
Bronze Age was invented- by now man was flyin'
'Cause hot on his heels came the age of iron
Celts, druids, religion and Rome
By now a distant memory, those ages of stone
Shoo be do be do a
Since that metallic stage
Skiddly bop do a
There was no more Stone Age
Shoo be do be do a
Now you know what is known
About the man phases
Of the ages of stone
YEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAHHH!
All right!
