Topic: Tyrannosaurus Rex - Song for my grand kids

I was playing around this morning practicing Neil Young's Motorcycle Mama. 
It occurred right after I had played dinosaurs with my grandchildren.
Somehow in my mind Motorcycle Mama got changed around to  Tyrannosaurus Rex !

This is what I came up with. If you have Grand kids - give it a go. (send me a copy) smile

Tyrannosaurus Rex by Jim Kenyon



[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex why are you such a beast ?


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex you’re so mean to say the [E7]least


oh you're [A]always hunting, looking for a feast


With those[D7] tiny little arms, but great big teeth


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex


why [E7] are you such a [A]beast ?


.






[A]I'm runnin', I'm runnin'


yeah, I'm [E7]runnin' to get [A]away


Yeah, I'm runnin', I'm runnin'


I'm runnin'to live another [E7]day


And as[A] long as I keep movin'


I [D7]won't be your meal today


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex


why [E7]can’t you go[A] away ?


.




[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex why are you such a beast ?


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex you’re so mean to say the [E7]least


oh you're [A]always hunting, looking for a feast


With those[D7] tiny little arms, but great big teeth


[A] Tyrannosaurus Rex


why [E7] are you such a [A]beast ?




.






[A]Well, you can hear him coming


cause he [E7] always roars so [A] loud


he sounds like thunder coming



from a big rain [E7]cloud


when he[A] comes around and stomps the ground


he[D7] breaks up every Dinosaur crowd


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex


why [E7] do you roar so [A] loud?


.




[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex why are you so mean


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex you’re really huge and [E7] green


[A]You’re the baddest creature I’ve ever seen


And now [D7]people dress like you for Halloween


[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex why [E7] are you so[A] mean




.




[A]at 15 feet tall and 40 feet long


You make the [E7] ground go crunch, crunch [A]crunch


you might be kinda slow but


you’re never late to [E7]lunch


seems like [A]you always need something to munch


you’re [D]appetite really packs a punch


oh [A]Tyrannosaurus Rex


I [E7]think you’re king of the[A] bunch




.




[A]Tyrannosaurus Rex why are you such a beast ?

Nice one Jim.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

Re: Tyrannosaurus Rex - Song for my grand kids

Sorry Jim, this "person" is a secret spammer. There's a place the mods can go where members cant and that's where the spam is secreted. I've banned them and the mod for this section will come along and dispose of the post. Cant understand why they want to spoil our site, they can simply get in touch with Per and pay for advertising space.     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.
