From the recording Dino Ditties
Lyrics
They call me Big Al, I’m an allosaurus
One of the best-known theropods
I was at the top of the food chain
In the Late Jurassic times
Nowadays I stand on display
At the Museum of the Rockies
My fossil was found 95% complete
And my bones show so many injuries
It doesn’t always feel easy to be me
Sometimes my days feel so hard and rough
But I’m tough, I’m tough, I am tough
I am tough, I am tough, I am tough
I was a hard dino living in a harsh world
Long dry seasons in the Morrison Formation
Made me resilient, I had a robust skull
Jaw lined with serrated teeth, never dull
Two crest-like horns pointed out above my eyes
My large hind limbs were so powerful
I raced around with a brawny tail
I was the baddest dinosaur
It doesn’t always feel easy to be me
Sometimes my days feel so hard and rough
But I’m tough, I’m tough, I am tough
I am tough, I am tough, I am tough
I bet I could have used some rest
I sure got hurt a lot
A little patching up here and there
Before I kept moving on
It doesn’t always feel easy to be me
Sometimes my days feel so hard and rough
But yy I’m tough, I’m tough, I am tough
I am tough, I am tough, I am tough
