Dinosaur Songs



Tyrannosaurus Rex

Every story seems to have a villain.
Ours will be the reptile they call T. Rex.

Chorus:
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Tyrannosaurus Rex means tyrant king.
He terrorized the countryside
And made the giant reptiles hide.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.
Tyrannosaurus Rex was a very mean king.
If it wasn’t for him we’d have a happy ending.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom, boom.

Mean and cruel was Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Caught his victims by their necks.

Repeat Chorus

Walked on his back feet for they were big and strong.
Used his short front feet like we use our arms.

Repeat Chorus

Triceratops

How many horns do you have? None of course.
How many horns does a bull have? Two, of course.
But me, but me, I have three.
I’m very special you can see.

Chorus:
Triceratops with three long horns, a beak like a parrot, and a frill where his neck is.
Triceratops with four big legs and a tail in back.

How many lips does a bug have? None of course.
How many lips do you have? Two, of course.
But me, but me, I’m unique.
Instead of lips I have a beak.

Repeat Chorus

How many legs does a fish have? None of course.
How many legs do you have? Two, of course.
But me, but me, I have more.
I’m so glad that I have four.

Repeat Chorus


Stegosaurus

Chorus:
My name is Stegosaurus. I’m a funny-looking dinosaur.
For on my back are many bony plates and on my tail there’s more.

My front legs are very short. My back two legs are long.
My body’s big, my head is small. I’m put together wrong.

Repeat chorus

Sometimes another dinosaur comes by and wants to fight.
I don’t use fists, I use my tail.
It has four sharp, sharp spikes.

Repeat chorus, last verse, and chorus again.


Pterodactyl

Chorus:
I’d like to be the biggest dinosaur.
I’m not but I can fly and I like that more.

Pterodactyl, Pterodactyl, where are you? Where are you?
Flying over treetops, flying over treetops,
Why oh why don’t you? Why oh why don’t you?

Repeat Chorus

Pterodactyl, Pterodactyl, what are you? What are you?
I’m a flying reptile, older than a crocodile.
Birds can fly, so can I.

Repeat Chorus

Pterodactyl, Pterodactyl, take me too. Take me too.
High above the mountains, over trees and water,
Take me too. Take me too.

Repeat Chorus




Apatasourus/Brontosaurus

Chorus:
Not very smart, not very quick,
Not nearly as wise as our friend Moby Dick

Brontosaurus means Thunder Lizard,
So big and slow that on land soon grew tired.
Doesn’t eat meat, doesn’t eat fish.
Leaves and plants are her favorite d

Repeat Chorus

Sixty seven feet from head to tail.
Very, very big but not as big as a whale.
Big as a firehouse, safe in the water,
Tyrannosaurus Rex on land could have caught her.

Repeat chorus, verse 1, chorus.




Dinosaur Friends

Now we know our dinosaur friends,
Who were so tall they’d make teachers looks small.
They’re not here so there’s nothing to fear.
So sing their song and be of good cheer.

Chorus:
Terri Pterodactyl, Bertha Brontosaurus
Trini the Triceratops, Stanley Stegosaurus,
Tom Tyrannosaurus, he is carnivorous.
Try it once again and sing another chorus.
Terri Pterodactyl, Bertha Brontosaurus
Trini the Triceratops, Stanley Stegosaurus,
Tom Tyrannosaurus, he is carnivorous.
That was lots of fun
Though these words are big for us.
(One more time – faster!)

Repeat chorus

I did it!

  1. Where did you find these?!! I have been looking for these songs on CD since my son was born. My dad loved them as a boy, my brother and I loved them as kids, and now I want my children to hear them but cannot find them! Please, if you have any information on the album, let me know!

  2. Hi!

    My lead teacher had them typed up but we didn't have a CD, we just sang them. She may have made up the tune...I'm not sure. Sorry I can't be of more help!

  4. I sang these songs in grade school music class 30 years ago, my teacher played them vinyl record. I typed in the lyrics to Pterodactyl as it was in my head and found this! Thank you, fond memories of my childhood in Indiana :)

  5. Haha. When I was in grade school like Ryan, our teacher also played these songs. 90% of the words ate the words I remember.

    It really nice to see the lyric again. The videos are also on YouTube. I found them once, I will look again.

  7. I hope you guys won't hate me for this, but I found the record at Amoeba Records in Hollywood... for $2. It is in perfect shape, and my daughter (2 years old) absolutely loves it. And now I have that damn triceratops song in my head CONSTANTLY. I am a middle school music teacher, and I think I am going to have a revival...
