OK, so who knew that Johnny Cash had a dinosaur song? Written by Johnny and his wife June, the "Dinosaur Song" was recorded between January 1972 and October 1973. It was released by Columbia Records in 1975 on "The Johnny Cash Children's Album". It was later reissued in 2006 through Legacy Recordings.
Enjoy!
"Dinosaur Song"
Dinosaurs lived a long time ago
They were terrible lizards, don't you know?
Some ate plants and some ate meat
Some ate fish and some ate beasts
One was called Diplodocus
One was bigger than your school bus
One was called a Triceratops
Three horns to stop anything that hops
Now can't you just see yourself walking along
Leading your pet Trachadon or feeding your Brontosaurus Rex?
Or scratching your Diplodocus neck
Or riding on a Stegosaurus back or swimming in a Brachiosaurus track
Oh what a time and oh what a fun
Play and tag with your Iguanondon
And if we had dinosaurs
Now could they get along with a horse and a cow?
Well, I wish they hadn't become extinct
Dinosaurs would be nice pets and friends
To have around to run outside
And play with everyday, don't you think?
Thanks go out to ESCONI member Heidi Holm for suggesting this post.
