This old bone turned to stone
Two hundred thirty million years ago
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Fossils are a page of history in the Triassic age

This old bone, long before, it once was Eoraptor
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone fossil in Triassic stone

This old bone, why of course, it once was a Plateosaurus
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone fossil in Triassic stone

This old bone turned to stone
One hundred eighty million years ago
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Fossils are a page of history in the Jurassic age

This old bone, why of course it once was a Brontosaurus
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone in Jurassic stone

This old bone, why of course it once was a Stegosaurus
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone fossil in Jurassic stone

This old bone turned to stone
One hundred thirty million years ago
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Fossils are a page of history in the Cretaceous age

This old bone, why of course
It once was Tyrannosaurus
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone in Cretaceous stone

This old bone, here it stopped
It once was Triceratops
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
Find a dino bone in Cretaceous stone

These old bones turned to stones
Became extinct no more to roam
With a pick, whack, diggin' at
The bones they left behind
Their evolution ended in Cretaceous times

This Old Bone
