When Dinosaurs Roamed

When Dinosaurs Roamed is an unreleased song by the Mountain Goats written by John Darnielle to sing for his son, Roman.

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
