Carry me back to the Olduvai gorges
That’s where the ripe fruit and the tasty tubers grow
Carry me back to the Olduvai gorges
That’s where this transitional hominid longs to go
That’s where I ran from the saber-toothed tigers
Day after day in the grass upon the veldt
Carry me back to the Olduvai gorges
I’ve been gone so long I’ve forgotten just how bad that cave smelt.

Only semi-on-topic, but if anyone likes children’s novels and gets a chance, there’s a hilarious book about the development of human language (and hard currency, and a few other things), called “A is for Aaaaargh!”
