Fish leap out of the fossil record fully formed & happy to be here.
Birds fly out of the binding rocks fully formed & happy to be here.
Here come the dinosaurs:
(Homes all around the world!)
"We like it here."
Oh, we're saying,
"We like it here.
"We got stuff to eat & room with a view.
"We got reason to be & plenty to do.
("We like it here!")
"Tell me what more's a fellow need than somewhere to go & somewhere to be?
"Yeah, we like it here."
[The Uniformitarians rant:]
Call it out for all it's worth,
Nothing changes on this earth!
All the years all things remain the same...
the way it is, it was, and will remain.
Here come the dinosaurs...
[In reply, a taunt:]
Take a flesh from off a the bone...
chuck a word about willy-nilly.
Make your mind up here & now...
shoulda, coulda, so it had to be.
Here come the dinosaurs.
(Bones all around the world.)
Here come the dinosaurs...
Bones all around the world are gathered up and put in halls--
daylight crawls up & down the walls.
Strangers fixed in a strange land,
debris found on a foreign sand,
the evidence is there to see...
the old world simply ceased to be.
Oh, the evidence is there to see.
Their own world ceased to be.
Here come the dinosaurs.
Here come the...
-- Whoops!--
They're gone.
[The dinosaurs/humanoid high kick chorus out]
Think about the thing revealed:
suddenly what a change can come.
Say about how I feel:
oh, oh so strange.
Also strange.
