Words and Music by Dennis Livingston CAMBRIAN, THEN ORDOVICIAN, SILURIAN, DEVONIAN, HAIL CARBONIFEROUS, AND PERMIAN. MESSY, MESSY MESOZOIC AGE OF REPTILES, WE ALL KNOW IT. LOTS OF MOISTURE, LOTS OF WATER, BOUNCING BABY SONS AND DAUGHTERS. FROM TRIASSIC TO JURASSIC, AS A LIFE FORM, WE'RE A CLASSIC. READY FOR THE LATE CRETACEOUS, NOW THINGS REALLY GET RAPACIOUS. THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS, HEY! WE RULE THE EARTH SUPREME. NO ONE CAN TAKE OUR PLACE, YEAH! WE HAVE THE WINNING TEAM.   NOW WE CALL ALL THE SHOTS, HEY! WHAT WE DON ' T LIKE, WE TROUNCE. IF YOU GET IN OUR WAY, YEAH! HEAVE HO, YOU GET THE BOUNCE. FOREST DINOS, DESERT DINOS, EVEN IN LOST VALLEYS, DINOS. EVERYWHERE THAT WE COMPETE THERE'S NO ONE LEFT FOR US TO BEAT, BUT... CONTINENTAL PLATES ARE ZOOMING, LAND IS SHIFTING, MOUNTAINS LOOMING. WHO OR WHAT WILL NOW COME AFTER? LISTEN HARD, YOU'LL HEAR THE LAUGHTER. UP THE TREE OF LIFE ASCENDING, CHANGE UNFOLDING, NEVER ENDING. PREDATOR AND PREY ENCIRCLING, WHAT'S BEHIND THAT ROCK JUST LURKING? SOMETHING'S WRONG, OH WHAT'S THE MATTER? GUESS WE BETTER QUICKLY SCATTER, GOT NO TIME TO LEND OR BORROW, HERE TODAY AND GONE TOMORROW. THESE ARE THE GOOD OLD DAYS, HEY! WE RULE THE EARTH SUPREME. NO ONE CAN TAKE OUR PLACE, YEAH! WE HAVE THE WINNING TEAM.   NOW WE CALL ALL THE SHOTS, HEY! WHAT WE DON'T LIKE, WE TROUNCE. IF YOU GET IN OUR WAY, YEAH! HEAVE HO, YOU GET THE BOUNCE.     © 1991 Hallmark Music Co.   Back to CRETACEOUS CABARET main page
