Tom Paxton - Dinosaurs At Play lyrics

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 Of the dinosaurs at play
