Flintstones Lyrics
Flintstones meet the Flintstones
They’re the modern Stone Age Family
From the town of Bedrock
They’re a page right out of history
Let’s ride with the family down the street
Through the courtesy of Fred’s two feet
When you’re with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
We’ll have a gay old time
Flintstones, meet the Flintstones
They’re the modern Stone Age Family
From the town of Bedrock
They’re a page right out of history
Someday maybe Fred will win the fight
Then the cat will stay out for the night
When you’re with the Flintstones
Have a yabba dabba doo time
A dabba doo time
We’ll have a gay old time
We’ll have a gay old time
Yeah
