6. The Dinosaurs Song – Big World Club
Lyrics:
They used to walk. They used to swim
They used to fly with a toothy grin
Some ate plants and some ate meat
Some walked around on just two feet
[Chorus]
Oh, the dinosaurs! Big as trees!
Dinosaurs! Brains like peas!
Jaws and claws and teeth and bone…
That used to growl, groan, and moan
Some had feathers. Some had scales
Spikes, clubs, and whip-like tails
They fought like dragons. The earth sure shook
The volcanoes sizzled and the lava cooked
[Chorus]
Tyrannosaurus Rex was a terrible king
The Stegosaurus’ tail could really swing
Brachiosaurus liked to stomp
Trachodon would chew and chomp
[Chorus]
They roamed the earth, a hundred million years…
Without worries, cares, or fears
Then one day they hit the soil…
Now they’re fossils, gas, and oil!

7. The Egg (Dinosaur Song) – Howdytoons
Lyrics:
An egg is laid and sits in a pile in a nest.
On the side of a hill,
They lie very still, and they wait.
Seeing what time will create.
An egg, it falls and rolls down the side of the hill.
Sits in the sand,
Warmed by the sun where it rests.
Far from the eggs in the nest.
An egg it cracks and out comes a baby dinosaur.
With three tiny horns,
On the day it was born it peeks out,
Wondering what this world’s about.

8. Triceratops – Netflix Jr
Image: IStock
Lyrics:
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.

9. Dinosaur Song (T-Rex) – The Kiboomers
Lyrics:
Five huge dinosaurs
Letting out a roar–
One went away, and
Then there were four.
Four huge dinosaurs
Crashing down a tree–
One went away, and
Then there were three.
Three huge dinosaurs
Eating tiger stew–
One went away, and
Then there were two.
Two huge dinosaurs
Trying to run–
One ran away,
and then there was one.
One huge dinosaur,
Afraid to be a hero
He went away,
Then there were zero!

12. Apatosaurus (Dinosaur Song) – StoryBots
Lyrics:
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…!

13. Dinosaur Lullaby – Juny Tony
Lyrics:
Nighty night!
Sleep tight!
My little one!
The sun has gone down to the sea at night,
And the stars come up and wink at us.
Hushabye, rockabye baby, close your eyes.
Fall into a blissful sleep
You must be careful of dangerous hunters everywhere.
But don’t be scared of them.
You are strong.
You must be careful of strong dinosaurs everywhere.
But don’t be weak my baby.
You are brave.
You, remember these stars and the wind.
Enjoy your life, I’m by your side.

16. The Dinosaur Rap- John Foster
Lyrics:
Come on, everybody, shake a claw.
Let’s hear you bellow, let’s hear you roar.
Let’s hear you thump and clump and clap.
Come and join in. Do the dinosaur rap.
There’s a young T- Rex over by the door
Who’s already stamped a hole in the floor.
There’s a whirling, twirling apatosaurus
Encouraging everyone to join in the chorus.
Come on, everybody, shake a claw.
Let’s hear you bellow, let’s hear you roar.
Let’s hear you thump and clump and clap.
Come and join in. Do the dinosaur rap.
There’s a stegosaurus rattling his spines
And an iguanodon making thumbs-up signs.
There’s an allosaurus giving a shout
As he thrashes and lashes his tail about.
Come on, everybody, shake a claw.
Let’s hear you bellow, let’s hear you roar.
Let’s hear you thump and clump and clap.
Come and join in. Do the dinosaur rap.
There’s a triceratops who can’t stop giggling
At the way her partner’s writhing and wriggling.
There’s an ankylosaurus swaying to the beat,
Clomping and clumping and stomping his feet.
There are dinosaurs here. There are dinosaurs there.
There are dinosaurs dancing everywhere.
So swing your tails and shake your claws.
Join in the rapping with the dinosaurs.
