(intro) D G A D

      D                                G
    Dinosaurs lived a long time ago
A                                            D
    they were terrible lizards, don't you know ?
      D                               G
    Some ate plants and some ate meat,
      A                           D
    some ate fish and some ate beasts.

       D                          G
    One was called Diplodocus,
A                                      D
    one was bigger than your school bus,
      D                          G
    one was called a Triceratops,
         A                               D
    three horns to stop anything that hops.

                D                                       G
    Now, can't you just see yourself walking along,
A                                D
    leading your pet Trachadon ?
           D                             G
    Or feeding your Brontosaurus Rex,
             A                         D
    or scratching your Diplodocus' neck ?

          D                          G
    Or riding on a Stegosaurus' back,
            A                                 D
    or swimming in a Brachioscaurus' track ?
     D                                G
    Oh, what a time, and, oh, what fun,
       A                                    D
    play and tag with your Iguanodon !

               D           G
    And if we had Dinosaurs now,
                A                               D
    could they get along with a horse and a cow ?
            D                                    G
    Well, I wish they hadn't of become extinct,
      A
    Dinosaurs would be nice pets and friends
    to have around to run outside
    and play with every day, don't you think ?
