Santa Bring Me A Dinosaur

(album: Family Album No. 2 - 1996)

When Christmas comes I don't want a bike
Or toys and things that other kids like
I don't want a cat or a labrador
Santa brings me a dinosaur
Like the tyrannosaurus rex
Or the brontosaurus with the big long neck
San-ta won't you please en-sure
That you'll bring me a dinosaur

Santa, bring me a dinosaur
Old as a million years or more
Least as tall as the second floor
Santa bring me a dinosaur
Santa, bring me a dinosaur
With blood-shot eyes and a giant jaw
One to keep for ever more
Santa bring me a dinosaur

I'll take it to obedience school
And show it how to swim in a swimming pool
Build it a bed on a ton of straw
If you buy me a dinosaur
I'll teach it lots of games to play
And promise I'll walk it every day
On a winch that I'll keep in the kitchen drawer
If you buy me a dinosaur

Now a sabre-toothed tiger wouldn't be bad
But how would I explain it to my Mum and Dad
They'd make me send it back for sure, so Santa bring me a dinosaur
Santa, bring me a dinosaur
With blood-shot eyes and a giant jaw. One to keep for ever more
