Barnum Brown spent many summers out West; it's the prime time for dinosaur excavation. And the people he met: they were so friendly!

lyrics

SONG 5: It's Summer in Montana
[Barnum]
"I spent many summers out West. It's the prime time for dinosaur excavation, taking advantage of the three seasons in Montana: summer, August, and winter. And the folks we met were so friendly!"

It's summer in Montana - we're checking all our lists
for hospitality we'll show to those geologists.

We're hanging out Old Glory - cookin' up some pie
'cause it's 1902 4th of July.

Make no mistake, we have
tedious routines
with no help from electricity or
modern day machines.

We take a break to "live it
up" every once in a while
to prove that we are fun and
versatile!

On July 4th, the women wear their best frocks or gowns.
Cause today's the day the cowboys will come to town.
They're roasting beef and chicken, baking loaves of fragrant bread -
fresh berries and pickles on the picnic spread.

With cakes and pies they sweeten that
home cowboys desire.
When evening falls, there's
beer drunk by the fire.
Folks lift their fiddles and guitars and
join in song
and there's lively dancing all night
long.

[Barnum]
"Oh - those 4th of Julys! We had a plan and provisions and the bulk of summer discoveries ahead of us. It was just about my favorite time of year. And I always brought along a pair of dancing shoes just for the occasion.
But the best summer: I brought my new bride Marion out west on our honeymoon."
