Tyrannosaurus Rex Song 1
Who’s that going STOMP STOMP STOMP
in search of tasty things to chomp?
TYRANNOSAURUS
Hear his ROAR!
The fiercest, boldest dinosaur!
So BIG you can’t believe your eyes…
That dino-dude is GIANT SIZE!
He’s heavy too. He weighs EIGHT TONS!
So everyone who sees him RUNS!
‘Cause meat is what he loves to MUNCH.
And if you’re slow, you’ll be his LUNCH!
It’s true, his arms don’t reach too far.
Just look how short they are!
But if you think he’s weak, YOU’RE WRONG!
He’s not just big…
He’s SUPER STRONG!
His legs are stout.
His tail is thick.
So what if he’s not super QUICK?
His BIG, SHARP teeth are such a sight!
The smaller creatures QUAKE WITH FRIGHT!
They call him REX,
and that means KING,
’cause he’s the BOSS
of everything!
Lookin’ good, T-REX!
Tyrannosaurus Rex Song 2
The time machine has taken us back
65.5 billion years to the time of dinosaurs!
This is really old school.
Tyrannosaurus.
That’s the chorus!
Tyrannosaurus.
That’s the chorus!
Tyrannosaurus.
That’s the chorus!
What’s the chorus?
Tyrannosaurus!
Hey, I’m a Tyrannosaurus Rex!
I’m so big you gotta give me respect.
I’m as tall as a house!
You can’t push me around!
‘Cause I’m heavy — 16 thousand pounds!
I got strong legs and a tail for support.
My tail is LONG but my arms are SHORT!
See, my arms can’t touch, and what’s even more,
I’m not even sure what to use them for!
But my mouth is BIG and my teeth are SCARY!
Over 50 teeth, how sharp are they? (Very!)
Big long teeth make it easy to eat,
and I’m a carnivore, which means I eat MEAT!
I got a good sense of smell, hearing, and sight,
so I can go hunting at both the day and the night.
Yeah, I’m not very fast, but that don’t mean a thing…
I’m the king of the dinos — it’s good to be king!
Tyrannosaurus.
That’s the chorus!
Tyrannosaurus.
That’s the chorus!
Tyrannosaurs.
That is the chorus!
What’s the chorus?
Tyrannosaurus!
Wow! His teeth are really big!
I’m just glad he eats meat,
and not StoryBots.
Velociraptor Song 1
We have traveled back in time
to see these ancient creatures
roaming free.
We stop to get a better view.
VELOCIRAPTORS
COMING THROUGH!!!
When those ferocious BEASTS appear,
it’s time to hustle out of here!
Just look at how they SCURRY past.
They may be SMALL…
but wow, they’re FAST!
That mouth is like a MIGHTY TRAP
…that closes with a NOISY SNAP!
Velociraptors HATCH from eggs.
They grow SHARP CLAWS
and SPRINGY LEGS.
And feathers too,
though they can’t fly.
They’ll learn a lesson
if they try!
Their teeth are SHARP
for chomping snacks.
At dinner time,
they HUNT in packs.
For MEAT’S their
favorite kind of food.
They’re NEVER in a veggie mood!
So if a raptor corners you,
there’s only one thing
you ought to do…
Wear flowers, and you’ll be OKAY.
The smell will keep him far AWAY!
Rock on,
VELOCIRAPTORS!
Velociraptor Song 2
We are now in the Cretaceous Period.
Looks like there are some dinosaurs approaching…
FAST!
Velociraptors, Velocirappin’
When we run up, who knows what’ll happen?
Velociraptors, Velocirappin’
Don’t get too close or teeth’ll start snappin’!
When it comes to dinosaurs we are SMALL
6 feet long and 3 feet TALL
But our size doesn’t matter at ALL
We’re quick and speedy when it’s time to BRAWL
Long flat snout with a real strong JAW
Jagged teeth and a real sharp CLAW
When we eat food we like it RAW
Shimmy shimmy yam shimmy yay shimmy YAW
We look like birds, you may have GUESSED
We lay eggs inside a NEST
We’ve got feathers so we stay well-DRESSED
I’m king of the dinos, even I’m impressed
Long strong legs with lots of POWER
Runnin’ 24 miles per HOUR
We don’t want to eat that FLOWER
Give us meat, and we’ll DEVOUR!
Velociraptors, Velocirappin’
When we run up, who knows what’ll happen?
Velociraptors, Velocirapping
Don’t get too close or teeth’ll start snapping!
Why are you wearing all those flowers?
So they don’t eat me.
Good idea!
Lyrics
Triceratops Song 1
Some dinosaurs just
FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT.
They snap and claw all day and night!
Triceratops, A FRIENDLY FELLOW,
seems a lot more calm and mellow.
Check out his horns!
They’re quite unique.
His name means
“Three-Horned Face” in Greek!
No, not the kind of horns you BLOW…
…but HORNS that help him face a foe.
…or else they help attract a…
MATE.
Oh yeah, those horns are looking great!
His FRILL may be for protection too,
or just for show.
We wish we knew!
Okay, so just what DO we KNOW?
We know he’s BIG and kind of SLOW.
But if a T-REX wanders near,
he’ll very quickly disappear!
He doesn’t care for hunting meat.
FRESH LEAVES are what he likes to eat.
He’s like the other HERBIVORES,
the gentler kinds of dinosaurs.
Those HORNS are pretty cool, you know?
NO SILLY! Not the kind you blow!
He’s got THE STYLE, THE HORNS, THE FRILL…
Triceratops is super chill!
Peace out,
TRICERATOPS!
Triceratops Song 2
I wonder if there are friendly dinosaurs.
That one looks pretty cool.
1, 2, 3, check out my horns!
1, 2, 3, check out my horns!
I’m a triceratops all up in this place.
“Triceratops” means 3-horned face.
What do I use them for?
Scientists debate.
Maybe for defense, or to find a mate.
But I love my horns, 3 up on my grill.
I’m also really special, because I have a frill.
A frill?
Yeah, a frill! You heard what I said.
It’s a plate of bone on top of my head.
Cool!
Sorta looks like a crown — I’m a king of a kind.
Hey, I’m the kind of the dinos, and I’m hungry!
Never mind!
The T-Rex would eat me if he had the chance,
but I’m a herbivore, I only eat plants.
Got hundreds of teeth to chew my veggie food.
Got a small, pointy tail, but I’m a big dude.
I move pretty slow and got hooves on my feet.
But check it, c’mon, these horns are pretty sweet, right?
1, 2, 3, check out my horns!
1, 2, 3, check out my horns!
1! 2! 3!
Check out his horns!
1! 2! 3!
I wish I had a horn.
Here you go.
(Soothing horn solo.)
Stegosaurus Song 1
We’re photographing every kind
of dinosaur that we can find.
Hey, THAT ONE’S
not yet in our book…
A STEGOSAURUS!
Take a look!
Just check him out!
He’s LONG, he’s TALL.
But though he’s HUGE…
His head is SMALL!
And on his back, he’s got these
PLATES.
WHAT FOR?
Well. there are big debates.
They’re not that hard,
but just the SIGHT could fill
a predator with FRIGHT.
Or else they GIVE OFF HEAT instead.
They sometimes even
BLUSH BRIGHT RED!
Perhaps they’re just for LOOKING GOOD,
the way a cool young dino should.
If that’s the case, those handsome plates
may help with getting DINO DATES.
But take a look behind him. YIKES!
His tail has LONG and POINTY SPIKES!
So any time that HE’S ATTACKED…
…his enemies get SOUNDLY SMACKED!
But left alone, he’s NICE and SWEET.
He eats his VEGGIES, never meat.
He just relaxes,
EATS HIS FILL…
…then joins his
FRIENDLY HERD
to chill.
Stay cool,
STEGOSAURUS!
Stegosaurus Song 2
We’ve seen some pretty cool dinosaurs so far
That one has things all over his back
My back is covered in plates
My tail is covered in spikes
And that’s why I look great
When I’m rockin’ the mic m-mic-mic
I’m a Stegosaurus, what’s up yo?
I may have a small brain and move pretty slow
But I’ve got a spiky tail, I can swing and attack
And I’ve got all these plates on top of my back
Not plates for food, dude
They’re part of my body
They make me attractive
I’m kind of a hottie
I can use my plates for attracting mates
So we can go out on stegosaurus dates
I also use my plates to generate heat
And scare away predators — (RETREAT!)
My plates are so cool, I can make ’em turn red
I got a huge body and a very small head
And I got big cheeks for food I can store
But I only eat plants cause I’m an herbivore (What?!)
I got lots of friends and we move in a herd
And we all are super good lookin’ (Word!)
Our backs are covered in plates
Our tails are covered in spikes

We are the planets

And that’s why they look great
When they’re rocking the mic
Uh oh! An asteroid is approaching!
Let’s go back in the time machine!
FAST!
Apatosaurus Song 1
Something BIG is waiting for us…
Meet our friend APATOSAURUS!
Check her out.
Her NECK’S so LONG!
To be that LONG,
it must be STRONG!
She proudly holds her head UP HIGH…
…up where other creatures FLY!
She’s SUPER HEAVY, EXTRA TALL,
the BIGGEST dinosaur of all!
She’s even got the T-REX beat.
TRICERATOPS just can’t compete!
And when she WALKS,
it sounds like THUNDER.
(careful if you stand down under!)
Like her NECK, her TAIL is long.
But if you think it’s slow,
YOU’RE WRONG!
Her tail can give a MIGHTY WHACK
when packs of enemies ATTACK!
But is she vicious? NOT A CHANCE!
She doesn’t hunt, but lives on PLANTS.
She swallows ROCKS as added treats.
They help DIGEST the food she eats.
That gentle-natured dinosaur
can live a HUNDRED YEARS OR MORE!
She’s GIANT SIZED, but FRIENDLY too…
and always an AWESOME VIEW!
Keep smiling,
APATOSAURUS!
Apatosaurus Song 2
We are now in the Jurassic Period.
Look at that tall tree.
That’s not a tree…
My neck’s so long
And my neck’s so strong
I can bounce my head up and down
While I’m rapping my song
Wassup… I’m an Apatosaurus
I’m the biggest thing in this whole forest
Got a long, long, long, long neck–
Don’t get it twisted
I’m one of the biggest animals that ever existed
When I walk it sounds like thunder
Is there anyone bigger than me? I wonder…
T-Rex? (Nope.)
Triceratops? (No.)
Velociraptors? (No, you could squash us with your toe!)
That’s right, I’m the biggest, nobody wants to fight
Nobody’s at my height, or in my eyesight
I can whip my long tail to scare others away
I can live to be a hundred years old (Happy Birthday!)
I eat plants and eat rocks to help me digest
Got nostrils on my head, big heart inside my chest
But the part that’s best, gotta give me respect
Got a long long long long long long neck!
My neck’s so long
And my neck’s so strong
I can bounce my head up and down
While I’m rapping my song
Her neck is long
And her neck is strong
We can bounce our heads up and down
While we’re rapping this song
Dinosaur elevator going up.
Good thing we are not afraid of heights.
Speak for yourself…!
