The Lyrics

I shortened this because latter part was endless repetition...
So, so, so, so, so
Weird

Fred and Barney members of the Lodge, no wives
Good for drinking and laughs
Bowling, eating, telling lies
Loyal Order of the Water Buffalos test
Oh Fred
Twinkle Toes puts them ahead
Oh
So come the bronto ribs with some to share
Comes the Master of Affairs
The Grand Poobah amidst the stares
Look at the furs he wears
Yabba Dabba Doo! He's there!
They care

Poobah, there in Bedrock
Poobah, with his smooth talk
Poobah, there in Bedrock
So cool
Yabba drool
Poobah, there in Bedrock
Poobah, oh the Lodge shock
Poobah, there in Bedrock
Too cool
Yabba dooooo....

So bad
The Poobah from Flintstones
But Happy, Happy Days?

The Fonz, Potsie, Al's big nose
Howard Cunningham in robes?
Grand Poobah, Leopard Lodge, who knows?
Milwaukee No.462 I suppose
In how many shows?
Oh, no one knows...

Poobah, Howard's bright spot
Poobah, meant a lot
Poobah, far from a flop
Ritchie cared
Poobah, Howard's bright spot
Poobah, meant a lot
Poobah, far from a flop
No despair

Oh
Moving on

Some Poobah get it wrong
Rapper songs
Protest Black Power strong
Other Poobahs lack flair
First Church of Cannabis wrong
Grand Poobah Bill doesn't care
And he's not always quite there
Does God's will he swears
But he's a fraud
Other Poobahs in their lairs
Hippies with long hair
Oh
Don't judge the fur they wear
Or jewelry here and there

Poobahs, creepy rulers
Poobahs, social losers?
Think they rock, they're the top?
Fiction's not bad
Poobah, Flintstones Bedrock
Poobah, Howard's bright spot
Real-time stop, just stop
Stop this fad

Nobody cares
Nobody cares
At all
Not the '60s y'all
No pot-smokin' preacher fraud
No more pimped-out Leopard fur God's...

Grand Poobah is a term derived from the name of the haughty character Pooh-Bah in Gilbert and Sullivan's The Mikado (1885). In this comic opera, Pooh-Bah holds numerous exalted offices, including "First Lord of the Treasury, Lord Chief Justice, Commander-in-Chief, Lord High Admiral ... Hmm... sound like anyone we know :-)
