The Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, the Dixie Cups had the popular version in '65 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iko_Iko), but this parody targets and credits the slightly differing lyric stucture and pacing of the presumptive original. It also presumes familiarity with an ad campaign by an insurer I personally wish would go back to the gecko. :-)

Dis cavemon, me roll me eyes, ay be disgusted sigher …
Chorus:

Caveman not so dumb? Maybe, but his prioities are a mess. Joanie Sommers take note: You''re better off leaving Johnny meek and mellow. :-)

Bah ... up to my old sloppy transcription tricks. Parody title should be like 1st line, "Ay go 'Geico ...'" Oh well. Nice to drop in after months away and see everyone still here.
glad to see you back, stan...hilarious as usual with a great ear for dialect
Thanks for the vote & the welcome back, alvin. I've missed this sandbox. :-)
A five for that statement about Joanie Sommers. Now do a parody on that one.
Thanks, 2Eagle. AAMOF, I _did_ parody "that one" a few months ago (http://www.amiright.com/parody/60s/joaniesommers0.shtml), and appreciated your comment on it atthe time. :-)
