Dinosaur Lyrics
[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!
[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
[Verse 1]
Old man, why are you starin' at me?
Mack on me and my friends, it's kinda creepy
You should be prowlin' around the old folks home (Oh!)
C'mon, dude, leave us alone
At first we thought that it was kinda ill when
We saw that you were like a billion
And still out tryin' to make a killin'
Get back to the museum
[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!
[Post-Chorus]
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Yeah, you're pretty old
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)
[Verse 2]
Not long 'til you're a senior citizen
And you can strut around with that sexy tank of oxygen (Ooh!)
Honey, your toupée is fallin' to your left side
Get up and go bro, oh wait, you're fossilized, ha!
You sit down, buy me a martini
Won't go away, my hints aren't sinking
"Hey," you say, "Wanna come with me?"
I'm about to barf, seriously? (Seriously, ah!)
[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!
[Post-Chorus]
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
[Outro]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha!
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha!
