Lyrics

Do you think it’s cool
When people ask about you?
I know I do

Paleontologists
Wonder all the time
Why I have these spiky (bony)
Back plates of mine

Are they used for armor?
Or, to regulate my body temperature?
Maybe they are for show
To tell other dinos something I want them to know

And, I wish
I could clear it up for everyone

Hi, I am Steggie
Stegosaurus
Oh, If we could just hang out and talk
I’d have so much to say
So much I’d love to explain

Hi, I’m Steggie
Stegosaurus
It’s been over a hundred years
Since my bones first appeared
And there have been so many questions ever since

At first thought, my plates laid flat against my back
Then it was decided, “Oh!
They must stand up straight in one row.”

Next up, they were placed in parallel lines
And, these days the design of two staggered rows
Has my plates alternate

And, I wish I could clear it up for everyone

Hi, I am Steggie
Stegosaurus
Oh, if we could just hang out and talk
I’d have so much to say
So much I’d love to explain

Hi, I’m Steggie
Stegosaurus
It’s been over a hundred years
Since my bones first appeared
And there have been so many questions ever since

And, when I’m having fun
I like to imagine
My plates are kites
Sailing up and down my back

Hey, hi, I’m Steggie
Stegosaurus
Oh, if we could just hang out and talk
I’d I have so much to say
So much I’d love to explain

Hi, I’m Steggie
Stegosaurus
It’s been over a hundred years
Since my bones first appeared
And there have been so many questions ever since
