Lyrics
Repeat after me...Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs!
Tyrannosaurus Rex! Tyrannosaurus Rex!
Tyrannosaurus Rex - He was king of 'em all
Seven Tons of carnivore and 30 feet tall
He was a cold-blooded killer - He liked to eat flesh...
You wouldn't want to mess with Mr. T Rex!
Pachycephalosaurus! Pachycephalosaurus!
Pachycephalosaurus would get in a rage
And have head buttin' fights in the Cretaceous age.
He was a thickheaded lizard, lived a long time before us,
Head Banger! Pachycephalosaurus!
Triceratops Triceratops
Startin' at the bottom of Triceratops
You gotta look a long way 'cause his body never stops!
Nine meters from his tail to the horns on his face
A knight in shining armor of the dinosaur race.
Parasaurolophus! Parasaurolophus!
Parasaurolophus had a tubular crest
On top of his head which made him different from the rest
Of his dinosaur friends who knew he was around
When he blew his own horn to make a bellowing sound.
Pteranadon! Pteranadon!
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? It's Pteranadon!
His leathery wings measured thirty feet long.
This prehistoric fisherman would sail on the wind
Then dive and scoop up anything scaled or finned.
Apatasaurus Apatasaurus
If you hear the pitter-patter of apatosaurus feet,
It really doesn't matter 'cause he doesn't eat meat.
He eats plants and travels in a herd
If you want to say his name apatasaurus is the word
Stegasaurus Stegasaurus
You can tell a Stegosaurus from the plates on his back.
And the spikes on his tail kept him safe from attack.
At Jurassic Elementary he'd never make the grade
'Cause a Stegosaurus brain was the smallest ever made
Let's sing them all:
Stegasaurus
Stegasaurus
Apatasaurus
Apatasaurus
Pteranadon
Pteranadon
Parasaurolophus
Parasaurolophus
Triceratops
Triceratops
Pachycephalosaurus
Pachycephalosaurus
Tyrannosaurus Rex
Tyrannosaurus Rex
And now you know the names of some...
Dinosaurs Dinosaurs!
Dinosaurs! Dinosaurs!
