about

An imaginary battle between the vegetarian Stegosaurus and the carnivorous Allosaurus. It's a standoff! At the end a meteor sweeps over the earth (Denny's best Peter Lorre imitation). Does this spell trouble for the dinosaurs?

lyrics

Sparko the stegosaurus, foraging through the forest
He's a big dinosaur who just wants to eat his greens

200 million years ago, continents drift on the earth, and slowly Geography's beginning to resemble today
The land is hot and green and rainy
Herds of dinosaurs chomping on plants all day

The Conifer eaters
With reptilian features
Don't want to hurt no one
Unless they are preyed upon

Sparko, the stegosaurus, foraging through the forest
Covered with big bony plates and he looks kinda mean
Got a big spiky tail but he just wants to eat his greens

Trouble came up for Sparko one day
When a feather covered allosaurus walked his way
Sparko was frightened but he swung his tail
To warn the carnivore, "Get out of my face!"
The deadly allosaur just roared, showing off his fangs

A forty foot creature, with terrifying teeth, yeah
He's out to get someone he's sure he can prey upon
Trust your instincts, Sparko
Use your best swing, Sparko
Round and round the dinosaurs go
Sparko swings his tail, connects with a blow
The tired Allosaurus looks lost in a daze
When some stegosaurus friends run to Sparko's aid

Bye bye, Allosaur, pick on a dinosaur
Who doesn't have a tail like our old friend Stegosaur

Sparko the stegosaurus, foraging through the forest
He's a big dinosaur who just wants to eat his greens

“So, Sparko . . . we meet again . . .”
