Karen created this song years ago to share with story time kids. The lyrics and melody are Karen's BUT Dan did the wonderful backing work. He also inspired the bridge!
lyrics
We were big and scary
We lived in a swamp
We all got together
And did the dinosaur stomp
Stomp stomp stomp
Shiver your scales
Stomp stomp stomp
Shake those tails
Stomp stomp stomp
Stomp stomp stomp
Do the dinosaur STOMP!
We had great big teeth
And spikes down our backs
Now all you can find
Is our bones and our tracks
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Shiver your scales
Stomp Stomp Stomp
And shake those tails
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Do the dinosaur STOMP!
Why did we say goodbye
Was it an asteroid from the sky?
Did the world get too cold?
Or were we just too old?
Maybe we ran out of food,
That would put an end to our dinosaur groove.
Some of us swam
And some of us flew
There was one thing
We all loved to do
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Shiver your scales
Stomp Stomp Stomp
And shake those tails
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Do the dinosaur STOMP!
Why did we say goodbye
Was it an asteroid from the sky?
Did the world get too cold?
Or were we just too old?
Maybe we ran out of food,
That would put an end to our dinosaur groove.
We were big and scary
We lived in a swamp
We all got together
And did the dinosaur stomp.
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Shiver your scales
Stomp Stomp Stomp
And shake those tails
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Stomp Stomp Stomp
Do the dinosaur STOMP!
