Lyrics
Episode version
Jay Jay: I'm so excited, you guys!
We're hunting for a dinosaur,
Don't know if we'll find one!
Tracy: But if we do, I beg of you,
Please make it a kind one!
Herky: Yeah!
Jay Jay: Big Jake says the desert is
The place they like to roam…
Herky: Yeah,
I just hope that Brenda Blue
Has room for one at home!
Jay Jay: 'Cause he's gonna have a long neck...
Herky: And sharp claws.
Jay Jay: He's gonna have a big tail…
Tracy: He's gonna have huge jaws!
Herky: And when he gets hungry…
He'll begin to roar, ARG!
Jay Jay: But have no fear, what we have here
Is a friendly dinosaur.
Herky: Are you sure, Jay Jay?
Jay Jay: Sure, I'm sure!
[Instrumental break]
Jay Jay: And when we find a dinosaur,
Here's what we're gonna do:
We'll be the very first on earth
To start a Dino Zoo.
Herky: Do we have to?
Tracy: People will see something they have
Never seen before…
Herky: Really? What?
Jay Jay: A place where they'll come face to face
With a real, live dinosaur!
And he's gonna have a long neck…
Herky: And sharp claws.
Jay Jay: He's gonna have a big tail…
Tracy: He's gonna have huge jaws!
Herky: And when he gets hungry…
He'll begin to roar, ARG!
Jay Jay: The sign will read, "Please do not feed
Our friendly dinosaur!"
Stephen Michael Schwartz's version
We're hunting for a dinosaur,
I don't know if we'll find one…
But if we do, I promise you,
It's going to be a kind one.
I've been told the desert is
The place they like to roam…
I just hope when we find one
There's room for him back home.
'Cause he's gonna have a long neck…
Sharp claws…
Huge tail…
And great big jaws!
And when he gets hungry,
He'll begin to roar!
Have no fear, what we have here
Is a friendly dinosaur.
And when we find this dinosaur,
Here's what we're going to do:
We'll be the very first on earth
to start a dino zoo.
Children will see something they've
Never seen before…
A place where they come face to face
with a real live dinosaur.
'Cause he’s gonna have a long neck…
Sharp claws…
Huge tail…
And great big jaws!
And when he gets hungry,
He'll begin to roar!
Have no fear, what we have here
Is a friendly dinosaur.
This is gonna be so much fun. We'll find a Stegosaurus, or maybe a Triceratops, or maybe a Brachiosaurus or a Pterodactyl. Hey, we could even find a Tyrannosaurus Rex! Wait a minute. What if we're out there looking, and suddenly we don't find a big dinosaur at all? What if we find a baby dinosaur?
He’s gonna have a little neck…
Little claws…
Teeney tiny tail…
And very little jaws.
And when he gets hungry,
He won't know how to roar,
Have no fear what we have here,
Is a baby dinosaur.
The sign will read, "Please do not feed
This baby dinosaur."
Let’s give a cheer, what we have here
Is a baby dinosaur.
ROAR!!!
Trivia
- When Jay Jay sings the line "Big Jake says the desert is the place they like to roam", his lips don't move when he said "Big Jake".
- When Jay Jay says that he, Tracy and Herky will be the first to start a Dinosaur Zoo, he is incorrect as various Dinosaur Zoos exist in real life, though these have models of dinosaurs. Though this could mean he is young and doesn't know it yet.
- This is the only song to be sung by a character one at a time in a trio (Jay Jay, Tracy and Herky).
- This song premiered November 20, 2020 on Yippee as "Friendly Dinosaur".
