O evolve, evolve, dinosaurs  This barren wasteland is all yours  The world has had a great dying  Loss of life so terrifying  Adapt, adapt, oh dinosaurs  This barren wasteland shall be yours  Up from these ashes shall they come  To this death they did not succumb  The synapsids are all but gone Now you come to bring a new dawn  Adapt, adapt, oh dinosaurs This barren wasteland shall be yours 

You live through early Triassic  On limbs that must be oh so quick  You’re small and spry in the sparse land And on to upright limbs you stand  Adapt, adapt, oh dinosaurs This barren wasteland shall be yours 

To help maintain temp you have fluff A coating of feather-like scruff  Instead of four, you walk on two  This way of standing is quite new  Adapt, adapt, oh dinosaurs This barren wasteland shall be yours 

You shall adapt so mightily  And fill niches so vitally  An endless sea of forms shall rise  And one day they shall fill the skies  Adapt, adapt, oh dinosaurs This barren wasteland shall be yours
