What Colors Were The Dinosaurs?

I think that dinosaurs were red
with splashes of purple on their heads.
Perhaps their bodies had white spots or pink and blue small polka–dots.
Imagine Stegosaurus now
with brown spots like a milking cow.
Or Brontosaurus—was she pink
with orange toes? What do you [A7think?

I guess we’ll never ɾeally know
for [Dm7]dinosaurs lived long [Am]ago,
but brown and [Bm]green won’t do for [Dm7]me.
I think their colors were extɾeme.

Tyrannosaurus—he was [Am7]mean.
Was he brown, or was [Am7]he green?
Or maybe [Am]like [F]the zebra he
had black and [Bm]white stɾipes.
Could this be?
Triceratops had three huge horns.

Were they brown like [F]prickly thorns?
I think their three horns looked just like [F]a scary tiger’s, big and [Bm]white.

I guess we’ll never ɾeally know
for [Dm7]dinosaurs lived long [Am]ago,
but brown and [Bm]green won’t do for [Dm7]me.
I think their colors were extɾeme.

Now stop and [Bm]think about the way the animals look today.
Some have stɾipes, some are white.
Each kind is such a special sight.
So when I draw huge dinosaurs,

I choose three colors, maybe [Am]four, and [Bm]paint them [A]bright.
Now, I suppose that scientists would not oppose.

I guess we’ll never ɾeally know
for [Dm7]dinosaurs lived long [Am]ago,
but brown and [Bm]green won’t do for [Dm7]me.
I think their colors were extɾeme.
