[Verse 1] Old man, why are you starin' at me? Mack on me and my friends, it's kinda creepy You should be prowlin' around the old folks home (Oh!) C'mon, dude, leave us alone At first we thought that it was kinda ill when We saw that you were like a billion And still out tryin' to make a killin' Get back to the museum
[Chorus] D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur An O-L-D-M-A-N You're just an old man Hittin' on me, what? You need a CAT scan!

[Verse 2] Not long 'til you're a senior citizen And you can strut around with that sexy tank of oxygen (Ooh!) Honey, your toupée is fallin' to your left side Get up and go bro, oh wait, you're fossilized, ha! You sit down, buy me a martini Won't go away, my hints aren't sinking "Hey," you say, "Wanna come with me?" I'm about to barf, seriously? (Seriously, ah!)
[Chorus] D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur An O-L-D-M-A-N You're just an old man Hittin' on me, what? You need a CAT scan!
[Post-Chorus] Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha! Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha! Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha! Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
[Outro] D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha! D-I-N-O-S-A U-R a dinosaur D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha!

There’s a song called “Dinosaur” about this old guy who was hitting on me, and his toupee was kind of falling off, and I was like, “Oh my God, you’re so old, you’re prehistoric, you’re like a dinosaur. D-I-N-O-S-A-you are a dinosaur.
