La letra de la canción es la siguiente:
Dinosaur, dinosaur
You're on my mind more and moreIt's hard to imagine You walked on this same landAnd quite possibly You touched this rock with your three-fingered handDinosaur, dinosaurYou used to be here But you're not anymoreOh-oh-oh-ore
The land has changed its shape a lot You'd be amazed at all the continents we've gotWe've still got the fernsAnd the ferns have still got sporesWe've still got the antsAnd they're still crawlin' 'round on our floorsDinosaur, dinosaurYou used to be hereBut you're not anymoreOh-oh-oh-ore
Some have cautioned me that if you were still hereGettin' along wouldn't be so easy year after yearWhen I hear them say these things, they sound so flipThey say we're better off in this long-distance relationship
I've gotta say, you were so coolA little creepy and so old schoolIt's really astounding You lasted here so longAnd something else I'd admireIs the fact you were so big and strongDinosaur, dinosaurBecause you're not hereI can love you much moreOh-oh-oh-ore, dinosaur
