The One Who Builds Dinosaurs
[Intro | Spoken | Playful | Soft] Hey, guess what happened today. I got a job at the Museum of Natural History. They said: "We need to assemble dinosaur skeletons." I said: "I love puzzles." Plus I watched all the Jurassic Park movies. [crowd laughing] [Verse 1 | Sweet | Playful | Pizzicato] The T-Rex has tiny arms. It can't hug anyone. I gave it octopus tentacles. Now it can hug everyone. I put a sign on it: "Free hugs." The scientist said: "You created a monster." I told him: "I created a friend." [Verse 2 | Bright | Bouncy | Glockenspiel] The Velociraptor has sharp claws. It's scary, no one wants to play with it. I gave it yellow duck feet. Now it's adorable. But it can't run, it falls behind. I put wheels on its feet. Now it's a duck on wheels. But it skids around corners. I put a seatbelt on it. Now it's a duck on wheels with a seatbelt. The scientist said: "That's ridiculous." I told him: "It's safe." [Verse 3 | Warm | Soft | Gentle] I put up a sign: "Endangered Species." It was a dinosaur with ostrich legs. They told me: "It's not endangered, it's extinct." I told them: "Yes, it is endangered." Those legs are too thin. It could fall and hurt itself. [Verse 4 | Cheerful | Light | Light Brass] The Ankylosaurus has a club tail. It can smash everything it touches. If it's going to hit, let it not hurt anyone. I put a tennis racket on the tip. Now it plays tennis. [Pre-Chorus | Building | Strings Enter] I'm just making them more fun. Is that so wrong? I think I've won. [Chorus | Full | Joyful | Marching Drums] I'm the one who builds dinosaurs I made them prettier I put bones together with so much joy the museum has never been this happy [Verse 5 | Sweet | Playful | Soft] The Triceratops has three horns. I took two away. Now it has one. It's a unicorn. The scientist said: "You destroyed a fossil." I told him: "Now it's magical." The scientist told me: "But a unicorn is just a horse with a horn." So I thought: "Successful evolution." [Chorus | Full | Triumphant | Brass & Drums] I'm the one who builds dinosaurs I made them prettier I put bones together with so much joy the museum has never been this happy the scientists are crying — are they excited? the kids are celebrating my creation will they give me an award for innovation? [Bridge | Spoken | Warm | Reflective | Piano Only] The whole museum is now a circus. Unicorns, octopuses, ducks on wheels. The scientists were horrified. The kids walked in and cheered. I wanted to make the dinosaurs pretty. Science is very serious, but art counts too. That's worth more than a thousand fossils, isn't it? [Outro | Spoken | Playful | Laughing] The wax museum called me for a job. They have no idea what's coming. And I already have some ideas. [laughing] [crowd cheering]
