Dinosaur bones are very very old. Ancient humans must have always found fossil dinosaur bones... and wondered!

lyrics

SONG 2. Behold, the Dinosaur
"Dinosaurs, of course, are very very old.
Ancient humans must have always found fossil dinosaur bones - and wondered."

Giants and dragons abound.
we know this 'cause look what we found!
A tibia, a femur gargantuan.
I think I will hang it in my front salon.
Giants and dragons abound.

Monsters must lie in the deep.
It's quiet here just when they sleep.
Loch Ness is the lake where the deep is its home,
it's alive and you'll see it when you're out alone.
Monsters must lie in the deep.

You can see this strange thing is a stone.
I think it's a magic wand or wishbone.
Mine is a seashell I found on a hill
Mine is the claw of a bozenkill!
You can see this strange thing is a stone.

"Dinosaur bones, when scientists uncover them, can look like the remains of a carnivore's birthday party."

"steps---in---the---muck, he--got--________!

Behold the dinosaur! It set science on its ear. Evolution. The bone rush. Darwin's theory of common descent was being tested by deep and deeper digging, layers of discovery.

Behold the dinosaur! And - its unlucky hour. How big? How heavy? Did it fly or run? Feather or scale? Dragging a tail?
