Well, I'm a little dinosaur
I'm a little dinosaur
I'm a little dinosaur
But I'm planning to go away
Now, I am real old, don't you know
Born ten billion years ago
But they don't love me here enough and so
I'm planning to go away
Now the children upon their lawns
Will wake up and wonder where I've gone
And the flies that buzz around where I now be
They're all gonna have to get along without me
They'll say
Where's the little dinosaur?
Where's the little dinosaur?
Where's that little dinosaur?
He must have gone away
Oh no, please don't go
Oh no, please don't go
Don't go, little dinosaur
Please don't go away
Oh no, please don't go
Oh no, please don't go
Don't go, little dinosaur
Please don't go away
Okay, I'll come back
You know I'm back to stay
'Cause I'm just your little dinosaur
And I could never really go
Never really go
Never really go away
