Spoken
Oh dear, it sounds like it is a guitar
He began to play a little waltz
And soon, the fossilized dinosaurs joined in
And to their accomplaniment
Owl launched into a most persuasive song
Since that late revolutionary deary
And his great evolutionary theory
Mr. Darwin made plain for mankind to see
He relates to the ape and the chimpanzee
When paleontologists find a score
Of the bones on some distant south China shore
And they turn out to be a great dinosaur
I'm ectactic! So let me explain...
Why!
I like dinosaurs
I like dinosaurs
I like dinosaurs
For dinosaurs never look back
Think of the fabled Diplottocus
They said how unstabled and odd he was
But you know that two-thirds of his body was
Submerged so the beasty could swim
These legendary lumpy monstrosities
Moved at highly surprising velocities
And rarely committed atrocities
So join in my dinosaur hymn
I like dinosaurs
I find Tyrannasaurs
Are hardly herbivores
Dinosaurs really are great
Spoken
"What is your point?" said the impatient dinosaur
"I'm getting to it," said Owl
People go into hysterics
When they think of the Archeiapterics
He'd clamber his way up a tree and then
This beasty would simply fall down again
But one day in the early Jurassic times
After one of his long and his classic climbs
He flapped his arms, and though it seems obsurd
He flew and grew into a bird
I like dinosaurs
More than hoptroposaurs
So let's all dance on these sunny shores
For dinosaurs really are great
I like dinosaurs
I like dinosaurs
I like dinosaurs
For dinosaurs really are great!
