Lyrics
CHORUS
All of the dinosaurs, this much we know
Lived on the earth, millions of years ago
Tyrannosaurus Rex was the big one, the tyrant lizard
He walked on 2 legs, with a long heavy tail
13 metres long and with big sharp teeth – scary
CHORUS
Triceratops looked like a rhinoceros, with three sharp horns
And quills like a porcupine, and a backward pointing frill
You would not wish to meet when he's looking for something to eat - no way!
CHORUS
The stegosaurus ate rocks and no wonder, with a brain the size of a walnut
Plates on its back and spikes on its tail
9 metres long with 4 short legs and a very very tiny brain
CHORUS
The brontosaurus looked like a huge dragon and lived in swamps
The brachiosaurus had legs like an elephant, and a neck like a giraffe
The spinosaurus had teeth like a crocodile and could walk and swim...but
It’s hard to imagine such creatures here today
It’s such a very long time ago, but at least we can all say
CHORUS
The Song About Captain Cook

Lyrics
In Marton town not far from the sea
There was a young boy who grew up to be
A Yorkshire man in every way
From Whitby town to Robin Hood's Bay
At the age of 18, a labourer's son
Fit and strong and six foot one
He dreamed of a life on the wide open sea
And knew that soon that's where he would be
CHORUS
He sailed from Plymouth away from England
Cape Horn, Tahiti then Botany Bay
On the good ship Endeavour and onto where ever
The coast of Australia showed him the way
From master to captain he was just 41
Saw planet Venus transit the sun
He sailed to New Zealand as Tasman had done
Then Terra Australis the land of the sun
CHORUS
In 1770 the 11th of June
On the Great Barrier Reef by the light of the moon
The Endeavour she crashed on the rocks on the sand
The captain said we must put her to land
When the ship was repaired they set off again
Along the coast of Cape York no one knew when
How long it would be, how much further to roam
They longed for the sight of their far distant home
CHORUS (repeat)
They'd sailed from Plymouth away from England
Cape Horn, Tahiti then Botany Bay
On the good ship Endeavour and onto where ever
The coast of Australia showed them the way

Lyrics
I Caesar Augustus Emperor of Rome
Do hereby decree that – all of my subjects
Should return to the place of their birth
Should return to the place of their birth
To Syria (to Syria) Judea (Judea)
Greece, Israel, Egypt, Arabia.
Yes I Caesar Augustus, big shot that I am
Do hereby decrees that – all of my subjects
Should return to the place of their birth
Should return to the place of their birth
Assyria (Assyria), Samaria (Samaria)
Algeria, Sicily, Gallia, Albania.
Now Joseph husband of Mary
You know what you have to do
Travel from Nazareth (travel from Nazareth)
Till you get to Bethlehem (till you get to Bethlehem)
You must return to the place of your birth (x5).
Hadrian's Wall

Lyrics
Cat’s in the garden every morning
Scratch up Dad’s flower beds
I said to myself I’d better stop playing and
Go build a wall instead.
Chorus
Hadrian, Hadrian build it build it
Keep those cats from coming in
Hadrian Hadrian build it build it
They’re jumping and they’re tipping up the rubbish bin
You gotta build that wall.
I’ve noticed that Dad’s blood pressure rises
When neighbourhood cats drop in
If I was a cat I’d just take the hint and
No longer invite myself in.
Chorus
So just as the Picts were kept out of England
In 132 AD
There’ll be hundreds of cats kept out of our garden
For the rest of this century.
Chorus
