2. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs If I could dance with dinosaurs I'd choose the BrontoSAURus, 'Cuz if we did the tap dance I think no one could ignore us.

3. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs And if I had a partner who was called TyrannoSAURus, Not even classical ballet could ever start to bore us.

4. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Then I would dance on Broadway with the nimble StegoSAURus; And TeraDACtyls could be asked to come and join the chorus

5. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Or I could win a contest with the dainty AlloSAURus, And though the judge might be against us, all the kids are for us.

6. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs I could dance in Rockefeller's garden with DiPLODocus, But he might eat it up and then they would make a lot of fuss!

7. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Or I could dance down Main Street with one we call TriCERatops, Right up 'til we both got tickets from a tough young pair o' cops.

8. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs I would dance in Central park with my old friend IGUANodon, Far into the starry night 'till moonlight and the dawn are gone.

9. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs I would fly across the sky with feathered ArchaeOPteryx (ar- key-OP-ter-ix), And the sight of us would make a mother robin drop 'er sticks.

11. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs And frightened all the people, from janitors to judges, And threatened to take over due to alligator grudges;

12. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Then I'd call up all the dinosaurs and ask them to come down, And have a dino- gator match in the middle of the town.

13. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Then alligator claws would clash while scales and teeth go flying And clouds of dust would hide the fight so no one knows who's crying.

14. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs But then the dust would settle down and all the noise would silence, And beaten alligators would just sit there in defiance.

15. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs Then the mighty dinosaurs would put the gators in the zoo Where you could go and visit them so they could stare at you.

16. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs I'd dance all day and sleep all night with mighty GorgoSAURus. We'd dance so hard and be so tired no one could out-snore us.

17. If I Could Dance With Dinosaurs For breakfast all the dinosaurs and I would eat a waffle. I think dancing without dinosaurs truly would be awful.
