lyrics

every morning i wake up and i
drain the contents of my cup while i
sit out on my front porch
and i wait

over yonder like distant drumming
i can hear them, hear them coming
my friends, my friends
and they are never late

the dinosaurs

trudging, ascending and stomping my way
from some far away hill
comin' to make my day
they are good, they are kind
and they always say please
and usually bless you whenever i sneeze
they wipe their feet on the mat
and they keep the yard clean
and they don't say things, say things
that they don't mean

and i know that i
can rely
on my dinosaur friends

apatosaurus is strong and courageous
stegosaurus is completely outrageous
pachycephalosaurus can't resist a good brawl

dromiceiomimus has a tender heart
pteranodon is into modern art
and utahraptor
is a know-it-all

t-rex, t-rex
he is the king
he likes everybody and
everything
he's funny and silly
and very wise
and he gives good advice
to all the other guys
he's proficient in latin and philosophy
he likes the brontes, charlotte and emily
he's stomped and stomped all over this land
but the one thing he can't understand
is why we
oh we
why we say things, say things
that we don't mean

still i know that i
can rely
on my dinosaur friends

my dinosaur friends they are full of couth
and they always, always tell the truth

(they are good, they are kind, they are very wise
they say nice things and they don't tell lies)
