FLATULENCE KILLED THE DINOSAURS (lyrics and music) MUSICAL ACCOMPANIMENT FOR ERIC TOOHEY
[Instrumental intro in birdlike "dinosaur"ish whistles...think of the Dilophosaurus from Jurassic Park]
I saw you on the big screen back in Ninety-Three. Those raptors jumping up and snapping in 3D. Though I was young it didn't help you scaring me. Oh-a oh They took the credit for your smelly symphonies. Rewritten by machine and big fat SUV's, And now I understand the problems Algore sees.
Oh-a oh I eat your children Oh-a oh What did you tell them? Flatulence killed the dinosaurs. Flatulence killed the dinosaurs.
In the fuel that runs my car, The country whines we've gone too far (whoa!) Oh-a-a-a oh Oh-a-a-a oh
And now we meet at an abandoned gas-and-go. We hear your trumpet and it seems so long ago. And we remember how the wind began to blow...
Oh-a-oh You were the first one Oh-a-oh You were the last one. Flatulence killed the dinosaurs. Flatulence killed the dinosaurs.
In the fuel that runs my car, The country whines we've gone too far (you fart!) Oh-a-a-a oh Oh-a-a-a oh
[instrumental interlude rendered in flati of varying pitch, volume, and duration]
Flatulence killed the dinosaurs. Flatulence killed the dinosaurs. In the fuel that runs my car, The country whines we've gone too far, Carbon came because you fart, (Disregard warming on Mars) You are a dinosaur You are a dinosaur Flatulence killed the dinosaurs. Flatulence killed the dinosaurs.
[repeat; fade out; percussion rendered throughout in staccato flati]
