Lyrics[]

The dinosaurs, the dinosaurs 
They roamed the earth a long long time ago 
The dinosaurs, the dinosaurs 
They roamed the earth a long long time ago 

Some flew so high in the blue, blue sky 
Some walked the earth below 

The dinosaurs, the dinosaurs 
They roamed the earth a long long time ago 

Do they have bells to ring or songs to sing 
Some things we'll never know 
But bells probably not 
Maybe some instruments that time forgot 
I have heard of stranger things 

The dinosaurs, the dinosaurs 
They roamed the earth a long long time ago 
They roamed the earth a long long time ago
