I'm a Little Dinosaur Lyrics

well i'm a little dinosaur
im a little dinosaur
im a little dinosaur
but im planning to go away

now i am real oh dont you know
born ten million years ago
but they dont love me here enough and so
im planning to go away

now the children upon their lawns
will wake up and wonder where i've gone
and the flies will buzz around where i now be
they're all gonna have to get along without me
they'll say

wheres the little dinosaur

(I didn't think he'd really go)
wheres the little dinosaur

(wheres that little dinosaur)
wheres the little dinosaur

he must have gone away
(Please dont go away)

oh no please dont go
oh no please dont go
dont go little dinosaur
please dont go away

oh no please dont go
oh no please dont go
dont go little dinosaur
please dont go away

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
