Lyrics Billy Joe Shaver – Homo Erectus

I left Barber College
Searchin’ for knowledge
Went to the university
I must confess, Sir

Now I’m a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus
Lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way

Dear Doctor Howard
Come down from your tower
And join me for lunch at the «Y»
Although you’re thirty
I still think you’re pretty
Let’s give it that good ole college try

‘Cause I’m a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus
Lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way
Ok!

Hey Jomo Kenyatta
No, no, you’re not a
Australopithecine boogieman
It’s took us a jillion
But we’re all still here, been

And I’m a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus
Lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way

You know I’m a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way

You know that I’m a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus
Lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way

I’m but a Homo Erectus
Got to connect this
Bone that I discovered yesterday
Tyrannosaurus
Lived in the forest
Died because its heart got in the way

Watch out for Homo Erectus…
