Song Lyrics
Dinosaur train Dinosaur train
Once upon a time there was a mom
Here name was Mrs Pteranodon
Sittin on her nest she heard a stratchin
And said
Oh boy my eggs are hatching
One by one her kids popped free
Baby Pteranodons one two three
I’ll name you Tiny Shiny and Don
But Tiny said
Wait there’s one more mom
Last little baby was a different size
With teeth and a tail and big green eyes
He didn’t look anything like the rest
What am I doin in a Pteranodon nest
But dear old Mrs. Pteranodon said
Oh this is your family and I’m your mom
You may be different but we’re all creatures
All dinosaurs have different features
Come on buddy we’ll take a vacation
I’ll get us some tickets at Pteranodon station
We’ll travel the world through sunshine and rain
And meet all the species on the
Dinosaur train dinosaur train
Dinosaur train dinosaur train
We’re gonna ride ride ride ride
The dinosaur train
