Lyrics[]
English[]
I was looking out my window
late the other night
She was sitting in the garden
and gave me such a fright
Eating all mum's roses
there in the moonlight
It was Dorothy the Dinosaur
I knew that if Mum saw her
She'd never let her stay
A dinosaur as big as that
needs feeding night and day
I'd have to find a place
Where I could hide her away
Dorothy the Dinosaur
CHORUS
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp
Dorothy the Dinosaur (chomp)
I knew that she was so big
that she'd soon be found
My mother called the dog catcher
he came around
When he laid his eyes on her,
he fell to the ground
'Now I take it, that's Dorothy the Dinosaur'
CHORUS
They called up the police
to take her right away
They called up the zoo
to find a place to stay
I said they couldn't take her
I said 'No way,
that's Dorothy the Dinosaur'
("That's me")
CHORUS (2 TIMES)
Spanish[]
Por la ventana miraba una noche tarde ya,
La vi sentada ahí en el jardín y me asustó
Comiendo rosas de Mama bajo la luz de luna
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur
Si mi Mamá la viera no la dejaría quedarse
Dinosaurias tan grandes noche y día deben comer
Necesito un lugar donde la pueda esconder
Dorothy the Dinosaur
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Oh rosas!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Me encantan!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur (¡Chomp!)
Sabía que era muy grande que la iban a encontrar
Mami habló a la perrera, llegar un a pronto así
Y cuando la miraron se fueron para atrás
Dorothy the Dinosaur
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡O, me duele la panza!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Sigo con hambre!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Aquí, hay un buen ramo de rosas para comer!)
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur (¡Chomp!)
Se habló a la policía para que la agararran
Al zoológico hablaron, buscando en un lugar
Dije no se la lleven, dije "No Way José"
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur
(¡Soy yo!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Oh, rosas!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur (¡Chomp!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
(¡Oh, rosas!)
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
Romp-bomp-a-chomp, romp-bomp-a-chomp
Era Dorothy the Dinosaur (¡Chomp!)
