Dinosaurs at Play

I went down to dinosaur town

One Saturday morning, early

I was a little nervous

So I took my good friend Shirley

The dinosaurs came out to play

The ground was really shaking

And when they started jumping rope

The started an earth-quaking

Dinosaurs at play

They come out every day

You have to know just where to go

To see dinosaurs at play

Dinosaurs at play

They’re very large and grey

You’d better stay out of the way

Of the dinosaurs at play

We hid in the undergrowth

And there we saw before us

As big as any battleship

A giant brontosaurus

Its neck was long and slender

And its long tail was a-thumping

She swung her neck around and ‘round

And the little ones they were jumping

Dinosaurs at play

They come out every day

You have to know just where to go

To see dinosaurs at play

Dinosaurs at play

They’re very large and grey

You’d better stay out of the way

Of the dinosaurs at play

A Stegosaurus lumbered by

He looked a little grumpy

With great big plates all up his spine

They made him seem quite lumpy

The little ones ran along his back

Around the plates were peeking

It made us laugh to see them all

As they were hide-and-seeking

Dinosaurs at play

They come out every day

You have to know just where to go

To see dinosaurs at play

Dinosaurs at play

They’re very large and grey

You’d better stay out of the way

Of the dinosaurs at play

But then we saw them stop their play

We heard a frightening chorus

As through the trees there burst the form

Of fierce Tyrannosaurus

His teeth were huge and sharp as knives

His little red eyes were smoking

But then he started laughing

And he told them he’d been joking

Dinosaurs at play

They come out every day

You have to know just where to go

To see dinosaurs at play

Dinosaurs at play

They’re very large and grey

You’d better stay out of the way

Of the dinosaurs at play

You’d better stay out of the way
