Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our show. We’re all dinosaurs, if you really want to know.
We’re here to sing and dance for you, and maybe tell a joke or two.
We’ve been practicing for millions and millions of years, and so, my countrymen, lend us your ears.
Some of us are small and some are colossal, and most of us are on our way to becoming a fossil!
