See the review of the song on Aryiel's Blog
I’ve got the greatest lawn
Down the whole damn street
The neighbors always ask me
How I keep it so neat
My secret is I built a time machine
Any genius can build one …
Know what I mean?
I’ve done all my research
And I brought something special back
They’re friendly little beaked dinosaurs
That make my lawn a snack
Well, you can laugh all that you like
But my lawn is always spotless
And I sleep very well at night
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
You beautiful little beasts!
I don’t pay you nothin’
And you make my lawn a feast
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
Oh, who would’ve ever guessed?
You eat up all the weeds
And you fertilize the rest!
​
Yeah
​
Now how have the neighbors not noticed
My colorful dinosaur herd
I just told ‘em that they’re cassowaries (Cassowaries??)
Um, that’s a kind of bird
And my colleagues, well, they’ll never know
I mean, they spend all day in a lab
And labs don’t have windows
Now I worried very briefly
That I could mess up time
And wreck the future for everyone
Just for a yard sublime
But look around, nothing’s changed
I mean I guess my lawn’s improved
But the world sure looks the same!
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
You beautiful little beasts!
I don’t pay you nothin’
And you make my lawn a feast
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
Well, who would’ve ever guessed?
You eat up all the weeds
And you fertilize the rest!
​
Here we go!
Now, I can hear you saying,
“Your story is totally nuts! (Yeah!)
The Age of Dinosaurs lacked grass
I mean, it would totally upset their guts!” (What he said!)
Well, I’m surprised that’s what bothers you
I’m a man who could change the world
Yet lawn care is what I chose to do!
​
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
You beautiful little beasts!
I don’t pay you nothin’
And you make my lawn a feast
Oh, Psittacosaurus!
Well, who would’ve ever guessed?
You eat up all the weeds
And you fertilize the rest!
​
I said you eat up all my weeds
And you fertilize the rest!
You fertilize the rest!
Oh, you fertilize the rest!
Well, you fertilize the rest ... yeah
