[Verse 1]
I recall the time they found those fossilized mosquitoes
And before long, they were cloning DNA
Now, I'm being chased by some irate velociraptors
Well, believe me, this has been one lousy day

Cause they sure don't act like Barney
And they think that I'm their dinner, not their friend

Well, this sure ain't no e-ticket
Think I'll tell them where to stick it
Cause I'm never coming back this way, again!
Oh no! Whoa, no!
