The Lost World

Remember Michael Rennie on the late show screen
Ravin' 'bout real dinosaurs he's seen
Roar and hiss and nibble Jill St. John
Scientists back home just scoffed and howled
No one believed him,
But he saw a lost world
Where dinosaurs still thrive
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
With dinosaurs still alive
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
And they were running wild
Now I got proof dinosaurs are still alive
At big suburban malls every Saturday night
Wall to wall Wal-mart 90210
Jurassic hunks and triceratops girls
This ain't no movie it's the dawn of the dead
Beer hats and headphones on empty heads
Froo-froo girls blowing bubbles at jocks
Gridlocking the place with their muscle trucks
I tell ya people I saw a lost world
Where dinosaurs still thrive
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
The dinosaurs are still alive!
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
With monsters running wild
Crowded down the hall of the cinema
Metal t-shirt dudes lean up against the walls
Trying to score, pretending to be drunk
Zookeeper rent-a-cops break up the fights
Trapped in the middle of a lost world
What if I can't get out?!
These dinosaurs are taking over the world
No smarts or vision, so what else is new
Stegosauruses with golf ball brains
Just like their parents rule our world today
Believe me people, I saw a lost world
Where dinosaurs do thrive
A really, really truly lost world
With monsters running wild
Put the glasses on!
"They live" before our eyes
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
The dinosaurs are still alive
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
And they're running wild
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
Of beasts without a mind
Saw a lost world
Saw a lost world
Tomorrows leaders? Aigh!
