Many species of whales are in danger of becoming extinct like dinosaurs. Since lots of kids like dinosaurs, we thought that making this connection might encourage efforts to save whales from disappearing from the earth.
I thought that the dinosaurs were the biggest of them all But an animal still lives which makes them seem quite small It would take two of the heaviest dinosaurs to weigh as much as one blue whale - a-swimming off our shores
(Chorus:) We’ll never hear the roar of a dinosaur The only place you’ll see ‘em is inside a museum It would be a shame if whales end up the same Don’t let them be the dinosaurs of the sea.
None of our ancestors who lived so long before us Ever caught a glimpse of the fierce Tyrannosaurus But I want my great-grand-kids, and their grandchildren too to still find gentle, noble whales living in the oceans blue
(Chorus)
(Bridge:) Blubber for oil, and meat for food Hunted for hundreds of years Threatened by pollution and injured by boats Soon they may all disappear
Nobody knows for sure why the dinosaurs disappeared But if the whales go too, the reasons will be clear People are the cause, we fill their lives with sorrow If we don’t change our harmful ways, there’ll be no whales tomorrow.
