     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 ?
