When you cut yourself alien bacteria crawls in
Viruses can
also sneak in where your skin is thin
Alien
gobbler, a white blood cell not a red
Alien
gobbler, he chomps aliens till he's dead
Now other
white blood cells help out our little friend Alien gobbler
They've got
antibody weapons that they surely send Alien gobbler
Alien
gobbler, custom made for every foe
Histamine
alert bacteria's here, killing every cell that's near
Uninvited
parasite, alien gobbler time to fight!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
(He's
munchin' alien lunchin', you'll feel better when he eats his foe
He's chompin'
alien stompin' - alien gobbler go!
Antibodies ,
set them loose, make the right ones reproduce
Send them off
to the war, go ahead and make some more
Antibodies
kill ‘n’ cut aliens all around Alien gobbler
Or they coat
‘em and the alien gobblers come up and chomp 'em down Alien gobbler
Alien
gobbler, keeps piggin', just can't stop
Alien
gobbler, till he croaks then we send him to the top
A river of
puss, put the fallen warriors in Alien gobbler
Hardens to a scab,
a war memorial on your skin Alien gobbler
Alien
gobbler, stamps invaders out
Alien
gobbler, just give him a shout

I think I
hear the doorbell
Guess it’s
time to eat
My web it is
a-jigglin' from some insects’ tiny feet
I’ll wrap you
up in silk then I’ll eat your insides raw
You’ll be my
insect smoothie, suck your guts like with a straw
It’s killer tag
and I’m it, don’t you want to play (NO WAY!)
I just want
to wish you an arachnidae
Webs can be
triangular, funnel-shaped or round
Some have
sticky trip lines. some dig down in the ground
Others they
don’t have webs they chase down their prey
I’m so glad
to meet you but I guess it’s not your day
When it’s
time to mate, its a dangerous dating game
Some spiders
eat each other things that wiggle are all the same
The females
have a motto that means I risk my life
A husband’s
place is inside the stomach of his wife

You know I
love my baby
I like the
way that she hugs
People don’t
understand
She’s a
banana slug
She’s got just
one foot
But she ain’t
got no toes
She just
hangs out in the forest
Helpin’ it
decompose
Banana slug
Ba na na na na na na (repeat)
Ba-na-na-slug!
The way you
shake your antenna
You know it
gives me such bliss
C’mon, c’mon,
c’mon banana slug
And let me
give you a kiss
Oh when you
slide through the forest
You know you
look so fine
C’mon, c’mon,
c’mon banana slug
And let me
feel your slime
Now I’m broke
up about my baby
Found out she
doesn’t need me
She told me
just the other night
That she is
also a he. Hermaphroditic she’s a...
Now some
folks think that she’s gross
But I don’t
hear that jive
‘Cause if it
weren’t for my baby
This forest
might not survive

BLOOD-SUCKING FRIENDS
You get into
bed and turn off the lights
Ready to
sleep you say goodnight
Then you hear
a buzzing getting near
Before you
know it a mosquito's in your ear
You try to
kill it, you cover your head
But mosquito
babies must be fed
You smack and
whack, you think you're a stud
But she flies
away with a belly full of blood
We're your
blood-sucking friends. We want to be your friends
We're your blood-sucking
friends. On your blood we depend
We're your
friends. When you give, you're giving life
We're your
friends. Not for me, but for my wife
We're your
blood-sucking friends
The buzz you
hear is her love call for a mate
If a male's
antennae hears it, he meets her for a date
Us males are
quiet and we don't bite
But can you
hear that female, she'll drink to you tonight
Us males
don't whine or dine • Plant juices taste just fine
When we bite we
leave spit, that's how we spread disease
Civilizations
we've brought to their knees
Yellow fever
and malaria in tropical lands
All I spread
here is itch, but you're still not my fans!
Help out our
little ones • Without your blood their life is done
I feed frogs,
snakes, lizards, salamanders, and fish
Dragonflies
and swallows think that I'm a hot dish
Spiders and
water boatmen, backswimmers too
They all feed
on me, but now I'm gonna feed on you!
Wouldn't you like
to donate? • You’ll feel just great
She was born
in stagnant water in a raft of eggs
A cute little
wriggler without any legs
Living life
as a pupa wasn't much of a thrill
But now she's
an adult and it's time to drill!
You might
like us all to die • But don't even try • I think you'd best refrain • You'll
mess up the food chain • Please give your blood freely • We accept type A or B
• We vant to suck your blood!

Let me tell
you 'bout my froggie friend
He lives in
the water and he lives on land
He's an
amphibian, he lives in-between
He's got a
big mouth and his skin is green
He's got a
pair of great big bulbous eyes
They drop down
when he swallows flies
His tongue
shoots out and here they come
Wings and all
right over the gums
His name is
Bubba, he's a big fat frog
Been eatin'
bugs all day here on this log
The sky is
dark, it's getting late
He'd better
croak loud, if he wants a date
He’s got long
hind legs, would like to be the champ
Of the frog
jump olympics down at Angel's Camp
Ya better
keep those lovely legs out of view
They're good
for jumpin' but they're tasty too
He can drink and
breathe right through his skin
He's
camouflaged so that he blends in
Now to find a
mate who will respond
He’ll join
the choir down at the pond.
He eats
buuuugs for breakfast Bugs for breakfast
He eats bugs
for lunch Bugs for lunch
He eats buuuugs
for dinner Bugs for dinner
He likes the
way they crunch He likes the way they crunch
He eats
buuuug burgers Bug burgers
He drinks bug
milkshakes Bug milkshakes
He puts
buuuug butter Bug butter
On his bug
pancakes On his bug pancakes

I snuck into
the lab to see what was cooking
I knew I
shouldn't be there but I was only looking
There was a
big machine there it was made for shrinking
I bumped into
the lever, I guess I wasn't thinking
I started to
feel funny I was getting smaller
I tried to
get away and I shouted and hollered
The machine
it kept on going as I stood on the rug
And it didn't
stop until I was the size of a bug
I looked up
and I saw that there were insects all around me
I hid but it
wasn't long until they found me
It was an
insect party I had landed in
They were
jitterbugging, wiggling their exoskeletons
Their bodies
were a blur as around we did spin
They were
shaking their heads, their thorax, and their abdomens
They all had
six legs, the beetles and the fleas
So all of
them could dance three times better than me
I was dancing
with the insects (Bailando)
Bailando con
los insectos (Insectos) (2x)
Venga jugar.
¡Vamos a bailar y gozar! (2x)
I asked a
butterfly if she'd dance with me
I thought I
recognized her from entomology
We climbed up
and we danced on a sugar cube so sweet ¡Azucar!
And as we danced
she tasted it with her feet! ¡Sabor!
She said she
had to leave 'cause it was getting late
She took off
with some bees and went off to pollinate
Then with
some cucarachas I began to mosh
I said, “hey
man aren’t you the bugs that I used to squash?”
They gathered
all around me shouting "are you the one?
Who kills our
friends and family just for fun?"
I stared into
their compound eyes I didn't want to die
I said,
“don’t mess with my garden and I won't hurt a fly”
A Goliath
beetle grabbed me and said, “you’re history dude”!
But just in
time I grew and gained some altitude
I still do
the dance the insects taught to me
But so I
squish nobody I do it carefully
Tenían tres
partes de sus cuerpos tambien
Cabeza,
thórax y abdomen
Cuando ví la
mariposa la conocía
La había
estudiado en entomología
I don't know
why I killed them before
Los dejaré
vivír alrededor
Bailando el
merenge y la cha cha cha
Tambien
conocían a la macarena
Ya que estoy
grande otra vez
Los dejaré vivír
all over the place
I was dancing
with the insects

Rumble in the
distance, land wakes from its sleep
What I feel
on the surface started way down deep
The earth's
crust is divided into many plates
And where we
all live on them determines our fate
Where plates
slide past each other it's everybody's fault
The pressure it
can build when they slow down to a halt
Little jolts
release it, but without any brakes
The earth
starts dancing - its big booty begins to shake
Earthquake •
Land shakes • Plates slide - collide
We wait • To
vibrate • On nature's wildest ride (repeat)
Continents
colliding like giant bumper cars
That's how
the tallest mountains were pushed up to the stars
India was
drifting then rammed into the land
The place it
crashed in Asia's where the Himalayas stand
The earth
when it was forming had no water or atmosphere
Locked up in
the rocks you know they hadn't yet appeared
Volcanoes on
the surface completely changed this place
By spewing
gas like pimples erupting on your face
When a plate
goes 'neath another its a subduction zone
And with that
plate’s destruction shoots up volcanic cones
The Sierras
and the Rockies, they were born that way
In the
Cascades it's still happening - why St. Helen's was blown away
Deep beneath
the oceans plates are being formed
When lava
hits the water now it goes from hot to warm
It moves
across the ocean and says a slow good-bye
‘Cause at the
other side you know it's shoved down deep to die
Milkshake!

Fire! Fire!
Caveman cold
• Raw food getting old • It dark when sun down • Wild animals all around • Oh -
light from sky • It hit a tree • Me scared • But now me can see, it's Fire!
Me get more
near • Me have no fear • Me like a lot • Ow! - it too hot • Fire can be friend
• If treat with care • Me got too close now me don't got no hair Fire!
Me bang on
things • To make some sparks • Me try sticks and bones • But then me meet the
flintstones! • Me figured it out • Now fire my tool • Recipe for fire: heat,
oxygen, fuel. That make...Fire!
(Booga booga
business)
When
something burns • There is an attraction • With oxygen • It's a chemical
reaction • H2O • CO2 • Are some of the gases fire makes for me and you. That
make...Fire!
Spark plugs
fire in my '56 Chevy
This rock
don't roll, ‘cause it too heavy
I've got a
barbecue now and a gas range stove
Me sitting in
me cave and me still cold
Don't play
with fire, better watch out now
For
Hindenberg and Mrs. O'Leary's cow!
Fire's not a

Don't be

We're the
food chain gang We're the food chain gang
We connect
everything We connect everything
Food chain ya
can't break it or ya know
The pull
affects the others and down we all will go
We're the
food chain gang We're the food chain gang
Well the
chain starts out with an oak leaf in the sun
Making
carbohydrates - havin' lots of fun
Caterpillar
eats it, turns into a moth
Winds up on a
log in the belly of a frog
Now the log
was sittin' by the shores of a lake
Frog became a
dinner for a sneaky gopher snake
Snake thinks
she's cool cause she's cold-blooded
Long comes
racoon eats our reptile bud
Please let me
explain. The power that pumps you up every day comes to you through a bunch of
food chains
Racoon was
sittin' just washin' his food
Bobcat came
and ate him'cause she was in the mood
The bobcat
died, died of old age
The insects
ate her - into soil she decayed

I like
sports, I'm not exactly athletic but I like to hang out with sweaty fungis in
athletic shoes
I'm a parasite
I admit. I like one-sided relationships
I'm a fungus,
I wanna have fun, I want the opportunity to make you itch
I like
throwing out spores and letting them sink into your skin
and let ‘em
dig right in
And if the
spore can germinate
Because you
did not ventilate
Mycelium will
infiltrate your skin
Skin and wood
are really great
Some plants I
also populate
Your feet I
wanna irritate with...
Groty toes,
Groty toes, itchy groty toes
Do you like
spaghetti bread and pizza
Salad stir
fry and roquefort cheese?
Aren't you
glad there's antibiotics that are used to cure disease?
My kinfolk
are in all these
And dead
things would accumulate
If fungus did
not congregate
To decompose
and penetrate within
So to your shoes
let me migrate
And do not
try to medicate
Our
partnership you'll terminate.
We're
beautiful and edible
Put us in
stew. But you might spew
Some of us
are poisonous
Identify or
you could die I said
Identify or
die (3x)
Some like
give and take relationships, my cousin Chanterelle got involved with a tree
I'm not a
princess but I'm from a kingdom that isn't plant or beast
Including
mushrooms, mold and yeast
We do not
photosynthesize
The plant
kingdom does not apply
Our mushrooms
are to multiply - they're fruits
Hidden right
before your eyes
'Neath skin
and ground you realize
When we pop
up you'll recognize

I am a worm
The wondrous
worm
It's down
under
I love to
squirm
To eat the
dead
And the
living's my toil
And what
comes out makes magnificent soil
Gusa
nonononononononononononononono sí (2x)
I aerate the earth
as I tunnel and squirm
I am proud to
be called a worm
Our tunnels
flood
It rains all
night
Come up for
air
We're killed
by light
When people
die worms attend
Even when
it’s dull
But no one
comes to a worms’ funeral (oh no, I’m not bitter!)
A robin's
cute
Have you not
heard?
Of the
massacres
By the early

We do such
good
From us you
could learn
But you make
us fish bait in return - thanks a lot!

These are the
laws of physics.
You're
busted, uh huh - you know you cannot break the law
Can't run,
can't glide, can't take a ride,
Can't stop,
can't move, can't bump or groove
Without the
laws of physics
You're riding
your bike down the block
You hit a rock
and your bicycle stops
You were
movin' fast wind in your hair
Your bike has
stopped, now you're flyin' in the air
You wish you
were skinny with a little less fat
'Cause the
bigger you are, the bigger the splat
And you hit a
bunch of kids, like a bowling ball
You know the
harder you come, the harder they fall - It's the law!
Your parents
said to go clean your room
You've been
workin' at it hard, now you're sweatin' with a broom
They just
wouldn't listen when you made your plea
I didn't mess
it up, it's just entropy!
It's the
universe's fault, it don't got no heart
Everything
put together falls apart
Wish I could
freeze it to minus four fifty nine
Then the
atoms wouldn't move, and my room'd be fine - It's the law!
Pull over
there, with the lead in your shoe
What's the
matter officer? The matter is you!
I clocked
your speed 186 thou.
Going much
faster than the law will allow
I know the
rules, I won't give you a fight
If you've got
mass you can't go the speed of light - It's the law!
Everything is
attracted to all other things
The greater
the mass, you know the greater the cling
My booty was
attracted to the ground the other day
That's
gravity at work in a painful way
My attraction
to Tina is more than gravity though
Not all
attractions are explained with physics you know
But I'm glad
she's attracted to the planet Earth with me
Thank
goodness for the law of universal gravity! - It's the law!

My grandpa
was an O.K. Farmer
I’ve got a
lot more respect for him now
Well I never
knew about his achievements
He was the
national champion judger of cows
Moo moo sing
moo with me now
We're udderly
impressed we wish we knew how
Your bovine
secrets please share with us now
We'll be
national champion judgers of cows
The world's
seen many great leaders
George
Washington, Napoleon, Mao
Well big
deal, all they did was lead countries
They weren't
national champion judgers of cows
Mozart, the
Jacksons and the Beatles
Wrote music
we all listen to now
Well that
stuff that they wrote was real purty
But they
weren't national champion judgers of cows
Now Magellan was
a daring explorer
But on his
ship he'd often stand on the prow
And lament to
the waves and the heavens,
"I'll
never be national champion judger of cows!"
Galileo,
Drew, and Curie
Made
discoveries we benefit from now
They became
scientists because they couldn't cut it
As national
champion judger of cows
Joe Montana,
Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretsky and Pele
All deserve
to take a bow
‘Course none
of them will ever be satisfied
They're not
the national champion judgers of cows
Jesus, Mohammed
and Buddha
Did miracles
that made people say, "wow!"
Well they
might've been good at those miracles
But not
national champion judgers of cows
So all you
kids out there listenin'
Please take
this solemn vow
Don't be
doctors or lawyers or teachers
Be national
champion judgers of cows

One of these
days we're gonna rule the world - we already do (2x)
Life used to be
soft, till the shells gave them might
The seas were
ruled by the trilobites
Then imagine
being grabbed by something 7 feet long
Sea scorpions
were nasty but now they're gone
Devonian was
ruled by fish
Now most of
them are just a side dish
So what if
the sharks are still around
Hey tough
guy, come on up on the ground - HA!
Next the
amphibians did their land/water thing
Imagine earth
ruled by a salamander king
That's when I
came along, the star of the show
240 million
years ago
The reptiles were
the next to take charge
Big deal - so
they were kinda large
They say
Tyrannosaurus ruled
But now he's
just a fossil fuel - HA!
Yes I'm the
greatest you've ever seen
You might
call me the cucaracha queen
You may look
down on me now
But I'll outlive
you anyhow
The mammals
were the next to think that they were the best
But look how
many have flunked the test
Woolly
mammoth and the Cave bear, and saber toothed cat
They were bad
long ago but now where are they at?
Whales may think
they're unsurpassed
But history
proves that big things don't last
You're
superior that's what you think
We'll be
partying when you're extiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinct

Party party
party, it's a road pizza party (3x)
Lookin' down
way below looks like dinner's waiting for me
My vulture
pals are movin' in, as far as the eye can see
We don't ever
kill our prey, we leave that job to you
The critters
you hit on the road last night, to you they're just a pile of goo
I'm designed
for this job, my adaptations I'll share
I'm red up
top ‘cause I am bald I've got no feathers up there
I don't got nothing
against parasites, but don't want them on my head
Feathers
would get gunked when stuck inside the body of something that is dead
Road pizza
party! Pee-yew !
Gonna have a
road pizza party today
Road pizza
party! Road pizza party is the vulture way
We are big
heavy birds it's hard for us to fly
Instead of
flap we'd rather glide on elevators into the sky
It's a myth
if you see us above, it means something has died
What it means
is we've hitched a lift on a rising warm air ride
I'll have a
road toad, and a frog fillet, and a well done snake steak
Gimme a
pigeon patty, skunk sandwich how ‘bout a tasty possum pancake
My
alternative ways they may seem gross, but before you turn away
The scavenger
lifestyle is a role that somebody has to play
That’s right,
if you didn't have us there'd be bodies all around, we offer such a great deal
We take the
mess you’ve made and turn it into a delicious meal.
I'm as gross
as anyone else you might ever meet.
When it gets
hot to cool myself off sometimes I pee on my feet
I’ve got a
secret defense if you try to catch me, tell you what I would do
To scare you
away I'll take what I just ate, I'll bring it back up and barf all over you

Melt me down
way deep inside
As I cool,
let me crystalize
I'm igneous,
but don't take me for granite
Burnin’ hot
lava - I can be volcanic
I'm rock -
rock of the earth (2x)
Rockin' and a
rollin' since the date of my birth
I'm rock -
rock of the earth
Wash me with
water, blow me with wind
Carve out my
valleys, erode my skin
I'm made of
mud, silt, rocks and sand
Hardened into
rock I'm sedimentary land
I've been gettin'
worn down high and low
Since 4 1/2
billion years ago
Lucky for me,
my continents drift
Earthquakes
give me a face-lift
Give me
pressure and heat and I'll start to change
Make stripes
and folds as I rearrange
I'm a
metamorphic rock down under your shoes
Be nice to
me, ‘cause I can be gneiss too.

There's miles
of ocean underneath me
What's messin'
with my mind is that I just can't see
What's down
below lookin' up at me
Thinkin' of
what a tasty meal I could be
From out of
the depths torpedo slippin' through the blue
Them beady
black eyes have a great view
Of me with my
little legs adanglin', don't want a manglin'
From you an
unscheduled rendezvous
How do you
do? You cordon bleu
No way - uh,
uh - I'm outa here
And let me
make one thing perfectly clear
You see when
it comes to sharks and my backside
You call me
chicken, I'll say "yeah, Kentucky Fried"
Watch out!
Watch out! Shark's in the house! (4x)
You been
cruisin’ the salty blue H2O
As predator
king since 400 million years ago you know
You make no
bones about it you ain't got none
You're just a
cartilage creature causin' 911's,
You're no fun
at a party, cause you feed in that frenzied way
Can't take
you anywhere, just leave me outa your buffet
And don't
smile at me with those steak knives
Your conveyor
belt teeth they ruin skin dives
You know what
I'm sayin'? I wanna stay alive, but you know right where I'm at
Your sensory
could locate me in nothin' flat
Look, when
the scene is marine, I’m a lousy source of protein
So save your
guillotine, I’m just lean cuisine
What kind of
a shark are you? I wanna know before I die
Some sharks
can terrify, but some are plain shy
Carcaradon
Megalodon could eat a car they say
So what are
you a hammerhead, Great White or San Jose?
You must be
50 feet long and weigh 20 tons
A whale of a shark
comin' at me I know I'm done for
Say what, Mr.
Big stuff
You eat
plankton and that's enough?
I was scared
for nothin' guess it's true what they say
Sharks they
prefer much more tasty prey - they're gourmet
Now it's true
there's a few that might take a bite
But for most
a human sandwich spoils their appetite
You sharks
are all right, I guess you have your place
So live long
and prosper, but stay outa my face!
Hey you with
the dorsal, I ain't your morsel
You can just take
your slicin' and dicin' bootay someplace else
Uh oh, here

Went down to
the tropics today
Where the
rainforest is being stripped away
Everyday we
kill many species of plants
The only
thing left is gonna be termite flatulence.
Termite
flatulence
Let the
rainforest have a chance
Stop termite
flatulence
People who
need money cut down the trees
To raise the cows
for you and me
If we don’t
change what we’re doing, and change it fast
Where once
was a forest, there’ll be just termites passing gas
When the
trees cut down the stumps they stay
The termites
munch and help the wood decay
Tiny critters
in their guts help digest cellulose parts
Like humans
eating beans it makes termite...................flatulence
Hey Mon!
Wo-man!
Help the
rainforest stay -----Don't throw diversity away
It's not just
the trees -----It's the cure to disease
If you want
to do good -----Don't buy tropical wood
It's
affecting us all ----- Hear the flatulence call
You might
wonder what you can do all alone
Don't eat
cheap beef till the cows come home
If we all eat
more Brazilian nuts
It might slow
down all the termite butts... and stop flatulence

I was on the
Great Plains, thought I felt some drops
I stopped and
saw a puffy cloud with an anvil on top
A wind from
the south was blowin’ moist and warm
The cool
wicked wind of the west was high in the storm
The air was
movin’ up and slowly started to turn
Like a funnel
that was formin’ now I was concerned
Because it hovered
‘bove the ground, then bent down and kissed her
I said, “look
out Auntie Em, here comes a twister”!
Twist, Twist,
Twist - Do the tornado (4x)
I heard a fat
roar like a thousand freight trains
Now it may
rain in Spain, but the wind was on this plain
Two hundred
miles an hour - I was scared as the Dickens
It put a cow
on my roof - it plucked all my chickens
It rearranged
the furniture around my neighborhood
I got a new
hairdo right where I stood
So look when
nature throws a tantrum better watch out mister
The spin
cycle’s on now - you’re caught in a twister
So if you
wanna do the dance that is sweeping the nation with gyration
It ain’t
hard, all you need is rotation
Stand on one
foot and start twistin’ around
Kind of like you’re
squishin’ somethin’ into the ground
Get hot down
below stay cool up top
If you think
you’re gonna hurl then you better stop
Keep on goin’
till you get a blister
Grab your mom
and Dad, your brother and sister
You’re doin’
the tornado yeah, you’re doin’ the twister!

Everybody say
hey Hey
Everybody say
ho Ho
Now throw
your antennae in the air
and wave ‘em ‘round
like you don’t care
Say munch it
Munch it
Everybody say
crunch it Crunch it
The log, the
log, the log is decomposing
The ants go
marching 2 by 2
When things
drop dead Plop - boom
Then we get
fed and we feed the flower bed Munch it - and crunch it
Will you
appreciate - will you be grateful dead? I don't think so- no way!
But we never
refuse your refuse Fine dining and - good eats
Can you dig
it? You can dig it 'cause we dig it.
Even your
nose is going to decompose. Because...
We're undertakers
can you hear our thunder (repeat)
If it's dead
or dung gonna take it under (repeat)
We eat it all
for you
Munch it and
crunch it
The living
skin of the earth - Soil
wouldn't
exist if we weren't around - Chompin', and stompin'
We ain't
Beethoven - we decompose
Our
destruction is soil creation Mas-ti-ca-TION!
But we
tunnel, we dig, we squirm, we crawl
Garbage and
goo - We love it all
Your belly
button too will be dirt when we are through
break it on
down, break it on down
break it on
down, break it on down
break it on
down, break it on down, break it on down, down, down, down, down
Eatin' fast
we make Soil
Take it slow
we make Oil
We're setting
free the sun's energy Nibble nibble, plop drop
Birth to
earth Dust to dust
To make the
cycle go ‘round - In us you trust
The worms
crawl in, the worms crawl out
Munch it and
crunch it - we eat it all for you (3x)
Your stinky
feet too, will be rotten when we're through
We decompose
the symphony of life
When you're
already dead you probably won't miss your head

The Cenozoic
is here, our senior year must now end - Oh no, oh, no
Sign my dino yearbook
please my freshman mammalian friend - Oh no, oh, no
Were so
embarrassed that this could occur
We're being
replaced by a ball of fur
Rulers of
Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic
The only
Dinos left are gonna be plastic
Nah, nah,
nah, nah, - Hey hey - We don't wanna go (repeat)
One hundred
forty million years, but soon we'll be history - Oh no, oh, no
How did we
die - the world's biggest murder mystery - Oh no, oh, no
Was it an
asteroid or something else that occurred
Or did we go on
to college and evolve into birds?
The last
laugh's on you humans, think you're Sherlock Holmes
The only
clues we'll leave will be a pile of bones
So thanks
Thecodonts, but now we're sharing your fate - Oh no, oh, no
The mammals
will go on, but the dinos must graduate - Oh no, oh, no
We could've
been smart, but instead we got big
Some small
ones will survive ‘cause they can dig
It's hard to
understand why some live and some die
T. Rex will
be dead and a cow will arrive.
Gee, it's
really been fun! • Remember when that Pachycephalosaurus started whippin'
cycads in the cafeteria? • Yeah, what a bonehead • I almost spewed like a
Dilophosaur • Hey I can't wait for the senior prom • There's gonna be a band
called the asteroids playin’ • We're gonna go out with a bang, man! • I'm
really gonna miss you guys • Have a fun nuclear winter!
Don't evolve,
don't evolve, ever ever!
Here we go
dinos, here we go
We are
excellent, we're wick’ brill’
We’re the
class of negative 65 mil

On a leaf of
green from water I came
Through
photosynthesis, oxygen’s me name
We sailed
into the great blue yonder
All through
the air we did wander
Till we were
sucked into somebody’s nose
Past snot and
hairs down the tube we did go
We sail the
winds, the blood and the leaves
We’re O2
gases that meet with a C – We’re air - Arrrrr Breathe in
Through
pharynx and larynx and trachea too
The walls of the
lungs is where we went through
We flowed
along in a great red sea
In rivers of
blood through the arteries
Twas then we
were welcomed into a cell
Met a fair
carbon lass and for her we both fell
As animals
burp, they breathe and they sneeze
They send
different gases out onto the breeze
The carbon
dioxide is what the plants use
Providing the
creatures with food and oxygen too
We broke down
that sugar here’s what we did do
We bonded
together to make CO2
Back into the
blood and through breath that smelled bad
We were set
free and adventures had
Till we
reached a plant and we ended our ride
The stoma
gates opened and let us inside
