Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals
Spike and Delilah inhabit a playful imaginary prehistory in California, inventing useful things and discovering music amid canyon hazards. Fire, shoes, a wheel and the first guitar turn survival into a partnership. Their travels become a celebration of shared rhythm, with the couple's inventions drawing everyone around them into the dance.

Lyrics
Words by Douglas Heyes Jr
Spike and Delilah They were both made of names Lived out in California At the start of the whole game Deep up in the canyon Where the devil used to hide Avalanches, thunderstorms Wildfires and landslides That's just the way they wanted it They soon discovered fire He carved himself a wheel of Rock She heard the Angel Choir He was always barefoot So she made him some shoes He made himself the first guitar And he learned to play the Blues Early Man up on the Stand The Land of Red, White and Blue Alexander's Ragtime Band Is jammin' close to you Could be the End is comin' soon But he don't understand He's just howlin' at the Moon Cuz he's the Early Man Spike and his Delilah They traveled cross the land Everybody dancing When there's strikin' up the band Here's a little rhythm You can knock out on a tree Give me just a minute Let the rhythm set you free Gotta get down in it If it's gonna work at all Time to just begin i cuz we're going to have a ball I tell ya, Early Man Going to make you clap your hands Going to turn you in a circle As the wheel goes round and round Baby, Early Man Just as cool as he can be Spike and Miss Delilah Gonna make some history He's the Early Man Going to make you understand Geometric logarithm Syncopated catechism He's the Early Man And you better get away There's another Jungle Jam On the old jukebox today.... OUTRO: He's the Early Man You better get away He's the Early Man When his fingers start to play Spike and Miss Delilah Out in California A little something for ya Every single day.... *********
