Oh the dinosaur was a great big thing, he got bigger 
every day,
It got so big that it ate and ate 'til it ate it all 
away,
Oh, you couldn't hurt that old dinosaur, it had a hide 
like armour plate,
But when it wasn't eating right, he died beneath the 
weight,
Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, but now it is 
no more,
And I feel that we can learn a lot, from that poor old 
dinosaur.

[Instrumental]

Now when I think of the dinosaur, I think of the world 
today,
I wonder if we like the dinosaur will waste it all 
away,
Yes all those ships and guns and planes and all that 
armour plate,
Oh it seems to me already that they're struggling 
beneath the weight,
Oh, the dinosaur was a great big thing but it had a 
tiny brain,

[Instrumental]

Oh, they'll stand 'til doom and their brand of right
While the truth is stirrin' the toss,
Bit it seems to me already that the dollar is the boss,
Oh, the end's gonna come and go while they're standin' 
on their heads,
Oh, it standing on their dignity too stubborn to change 
or bend,
And all the while those sleek machines, eat up more and 
more,
And it makes me think once again, that poor old 
dinosaur.

{instrumental] 

Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, he got bigger 
every day,
It got so big that it ate and ate 'til it ate it all 
away,
Yes the dinosaur was a great big thing, but now it is 
no more,
And we should learn before it's too late from that poor 
old dinosaur,
Yes we should learn before it's too late from that poor 
old dinosaur.
