Galloping on My Dinosaur

MP3

WAV

I wish I was a cowboy
Many years ago
I'd saddle up my dinosaur
Yippity-oh-ky-oh

I'd ride across the prairie
And through a mountain pass
Before the days of the buffalo
Or even of buffalo grass

Galloping on my dinosaur
Yippity-oh-ky-ay
Get along doggies that don't exist
On your Paleozoic way

Its long ago, a year or so
And a hundred million more
As I gallop along, singing a song
To my trusty dinosaur

Before the days of the roundup
Before the rodeo
Before the days of the old coral
Yippity-oh-ky-oh

Before the days of the lasso
Or of chuck wagon chow
And nowhere in the whole wide world
Could you find a single cow 

Galloping on my dinosaur
Yippity-oh-ky-ay
Get along doggies that don't exist
On your Paleozoic way

Its long ago, a year or so
And a hundred million more
As I gallop along, singing a song
To my trusty dinosaur

He isn't a palomino
Or even a strawberry roan
He looks more like a double scoop
Of a pistachio ice cream cone

His front is where he's going
Before his end can start
He couldn't win a beauty show
But he's got lots of heart

Galloping on my dinosaur
Yippity-oh-ky-ay
Get along dogies that don't exist
On your Paleozoic way

Its long ago, a year or so
And a hundred million more
As I gallop along, singing a song
To my trusty dinosaur

He'd love to help me punch some cows
And help me brand them too
But there isn't hide nor hair of a cow
Or even a single moo

Not one single moo exists
To rope and tie and brand
But I don't mind as long as I
Have my dinosaur at hand

Galloping on my dinosaur
Yippity-oh-ky-ay
Get along doggies that don't exist
On your Paleozoic way

Its long ago, a year or so
And a hundred million more
As I gallop along, singing a song
To my trusty dinosaur
