| Song Lyrics: |
Sometimes I feel
Like I need a vacation
Sometimes I feel
Like I wanna go
To the city of cavemen
The city of Bedrock
I'd be a Flintstone
Now I'll tell you why...
Well, I've got I've got a woman named Wilma
Well, I've got I've got a baby named Pebbles
Well, I've got I've got a doggy named Dino
We do a little bowling and we drink a little vino
Well, I've got a little buddy, Barney Rubble
Got a neighbor by the name of Barney Rubble
He's a midget but he makes a lot of trouble
Doesn't like to shave, he got caveman stubble
Me and Barney, Loyal Order Water Buffalo
Lodge brothers, Loyal Order Water Buffalo
There's a handshake everybody gotta know
How come grand Poo-Bah always gotta run the whole show?
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
I get by on all my prehistoric knowhow
Betty and Barney got a baby named Bamm-Bamm
Little Pebbles is his number one fan
He's the strongest toddler in the whole land
Tear your arm off if he shakes your hand
Got a car, gonna push it with my feet now
Gonna take my family out to eat now
Jumbo ribs at the drive-in can't be beat now
Made from brontosaurus, baby, not a moo-cow
Wanna chill with a Sabertooth Tiger
Wear a loincloth, natural fiber
Be the first Rolling Stone subscriber
Got a pterodactyl for a windshield wiper
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Don't know what it means but I say it anyhow
Luck me, workin' down in the gravel put
Movin' rocks, on a big dinosaur I sit
Mr. Slate gets mad and he throws a fit
Pull the birdie's tail, everybody knows it's time to quit
I realize I'm living in the Stone Age
No fax, no cellular phone-Age
Pick my teeth with a dinosaur bone-Age
Liftin' heavy boulders every day for my wage
Barney Rubble, laughin' like a hyena
Barney Rubble, what a little wiener
Where's Wilma? Anybody seen her?
Got a baby elephant vacuum cleaner
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba, yabba dabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
(Yabba dabba do!) Yabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
(Yabba dabba do!) Yabba dabba do now
Yabba dabba do now
(Yabba dabba do!) Yabba dabba do now [Barney laughing]
Yabba dabba do now
(Yabba dabba do!) Yabba dabba do now [Barney laughing]
Yabba dabba do now
[Barney laughing]
(All right, all right)
(Oh boy)

"...and if you kick a midget in the balls, he turns into 8 squirrels, and they scurry off into the forest..." www.themadmusicarchive.com/song_details.aspx?SongID=42820
Try calling someone a mongoloid or hydrocephalic and see how far you get.
Political correctness = cultural repression. The more of it there is, the less 'free speech' you have.
..Though I don't ever remember a time when there wasn't something you couldn't say. When I was a kid, J. Edgar Hoover would drag you away if you even insinuated you had socialist tendencies. And Satan help you if he wanted to play 'dress up' with you that day. You might just get away with being subjected to mind destroying LSD experiments.

I think the term midget has shrunken in popularity.

Weird Al has a reputation for not being offensive; however many people are offended by the word "midget" so I find it odd that he used it in this song.
Don't get me wrong; I enjoy songs with offensive lyrics, and I write and perform songs with offensive lyrics myself. However, this seems an anomoly for Weird Al, given his reputation.
Perhaps the word is considered more offensive now than it was in 1993.
