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!

DeleteThis YouTube link worked in 2020. I learned these songs in 1977 in kindergarten. Glad you posted.
Hi!
ReplyDeleteMy 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!
There is an mp3 download on this site: http://www.vgg.com/VGGBlog/2007/01/mp3_monday_dinosaurs.html This is fantastic, I have had the stegosaurus song stuck in my head for about 30 years!!!
ReplyDeleteI 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 :)
ReplyDeleteHaha. When I was in grade school like Ryan, our teacher also played these songs. 90% of the words ate the words I remember.
ReplyDeleteIt really nice to see the lyric again. The videos are also on YouTube. I found them once, I will look again.
Here is the YT video with all the songs. This is the original I remember.

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...
