BE A HERBIVORE
(For "Dinosaurs")
Music by Ray Colcord
Lyrics by Lorraine Feather
(Note: Sung by Earl, a carnivorous dino,
and the creatures that live in his fridge)
CREATURES: Aren't we cute, aren't we sweet
Don't we look too good to eat
Be a nice dinosaur
Come on, be a herbivore
Yummy trees, gummy sap
Stuff some flowers in your yap
Don't eat meat anymore
Come on, be a herbivore
You'll lose weight easily
When you dine on greenery
Take a chance, join the dance
Tell the world you'll stick to plants
Lovely leaves, dainty grass
Doesn't steak seem kind of crass
As a snack, we're a bore
Come on, be a herbivore
We're the leftovers
We're not too nutritious
Try some squash instead
We're sure it's delicious
EARL: I want to eat you
CREATURES: We wish you wouldn't
EARL: I'd really like to
CREATURES: You really shouldn't
EARL: I love you guys a lot
It's an undisputed fact
But look at these teeth I've got
Take a look at my digestive tract
You can't tell me the food chain
Is just a chain of fools
CREATURES: Come on, Earl
Give it a whirl
Break the rules
Try some beans or some beets
Candied yams make dandy treats
Got some grapes you'll adore
Say you'll be a herbivore
Open up, down the hatch
Easy to chew and easy to catch
You could eat the whole outdoors
Come on, be a herbivore
As a snack, we're a bore
Say you wanna be a herbivore!
