lyrics
He’s a big Tyrannosaurus, about 80 feet long
Big and ugly and awful strong
Got a roar that rings like a gong
Just leaving destruction as he moves along
Jenny Lou playing on the steps, doesn’t know that he’s loose yet
A big dinosaur from another age, about to crush her porch in a rage
Run Jenny Lou, he’s coming after you
He’s got no sense of humor and he plans on eating you
There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say
Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot
He does the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
It's the same old game it’s the same old schlock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Yeah, dinosaur rock
There’s always been a music that sounds like it
It’s a heavy kind of dance and it goes like this
Put one foot forward and shake your hips
Then jump up and down ‘til the record skips
There’s prehistoric passion in the rhythm of the drums
Hearts beating in the tar pits everybody’s overcome
You thought they were extinct, then you were surely fooled
Even though their brains are small they really had a groove
So listen on your radio, tune in on your video
Really big sound from the days gone by
There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say
Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
I’m making lots of money and I like it a lot
He does the
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
It’s the same old game it’s the same old schlock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Dinosaur rock
Dinosaur
Yeah, dinosaur rock
Big and ugly and awful strong
Got a roar that rings like a gong
Just leaving destruction as he moves along
Jenny Lou playing on the steps, doesn’t know that he’s loose yet
A big dinosaur from another age, about to crush her porch in a rage
Run Jenny Lou, he’s coming after you
He’s got no sense of humor and he plans on eating you
There’s nothing you can do, there’s nothing you can say
Turn up the radio and hope he’ll dance away to the
