If dinosaurs could talk what would they say
Could they tell us stuff that would blow us away
What mysteries are revealed What do the rocks portray
In the Triassic, Cretaceous, and the Jurassic
Lived an abundance of creatures so classic
Do these Mesozoic monsters have secrets to help us today
Footprints, bones, eggs, tracks and teeth oh, what a puzzle it is
The fossils give us all the clues we need to hear them speak
and see how they must have lived Oh, and see how they must have lived
Stegosaurus and Tyrannosaurus Rex
How could creatures be gone that were so complex
Like brachiosaurus, pterodactyl and triceratops
Well, I guess all good things must come to an end
After all they ruled the earth much longer than men
150 times more / many millions of years nonstop
I guess they'd speak what's on their minds like "Beware of falling rocks"
Especially big ones that come from the sky and what an aftershock
What an aftershock that must have been
Oh,blocked out the sun for years
Pretty hard to have a garden!
Perhaps they'd advise against our arrogance
And convince us that we're taking a precarious chance
It's not a "given" that any species continue to advance
They might say be careful what, from the earth you demand
And play your cards with a careful hand
And remember Mother Earth will always be in command
But I wonder how much dinosaurs could really think
With a brain the size of a nut
I guess that's what makes man so unique
Will he correct his mistakes or take the short cut
Oh, so much cheaper to take the short cut
If dinosaurs could talk what would they say
Could they tell us stuff that would blow us away
What mysteries are revealed What do the rocks portray
Palentologists are working 24-7
Unlocking the clues only known in heaven
If we listen hard enough, will they tell us some stuff
If dinosaurs could talk.....I'm listening
If dinosaurs could talk...Are you listening
If dinosaurs could talk ...yeah!
