It was a night like this
fourty million years ago

I lit a cigarette
picked up a monkey
start to go.
The sun was spitting fire
the sky was blue as ice

I felt a little tired so I watched "Miami Vice".

I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody walk the dinosaur.

Boom boom acka-lacka-lacka boom

boom boom acka-lacka boom boom
. . .

I met you in a cave
you were painting Buffalo

I said I'd be your slave
follow wherever you go.
That night we split a rattlesnake and danced beneath the stars

You fell asleep
I stayed awake and watched the passing cars.

I walked a dinosaur
I walked a dinosaur! . . .

A shadow from the sky
much too big to be a bird

A screaming
crashing noise
louder than I've ever heard.
It looked like two big silver trees
that somehow learned to soar

Suddenly a summer breeze and a mighty lion's roar.

I killed a dinosaur
I killed a dinosaur!
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur.
Open the door
get on the floor
everybody kill the dinosaur.

boom boom acka-lacka boom boom

Boom boom acko-locka-lacka boom
