We Are the Dinosaurs words & music by Kirk & Magoo; 3rd verse lyrics by David Heitler-Klevans
We learned this song from Trout Fishing in America’s “Big Trouble” recording. David added the 3rd verse after pondering why it is that kids are so into dinosaurs.
(Chorus:) We are the dinosaurs; bigger than a grocery store Food is what we’re looking for; to find enough’s a mighty chore ‘Cause everything in sight, it just a little bite [Roar!]
I’m long as a house, but I’m not too tall I’m hip, I’m heavy, about nine tons in all I’ve got a bony shield, I’ve got a tail that flops I’m a three-horned, happenin’ Triceratops
(Chorus)
Now, I'm Tyrannosaurus Rex, and I'm the leader of the pack I could eat a hippopotamus, and call it just a snack The sound of my footsteps, it fills the world with fear But what's caught between my teeth could feed an army for a year
(Chorus)
Sometimes grown-ups make me feel so small So I like to pretend I’m not a kid at all A big, ferocious dinosaur is what I wanna be So my parents and teachers will have to listen to me
