A Brontosaurus With Bronchitis Songtext
von Barry Louis Polisar

I am a fierce and ferocious beast,
Though I′m sure you cannot tell.
I take my pills and medicine,
'Cause I don′t feel so well.
My head is stuffed, my nose it runs.
It hurts my throat to speak;
I'm a brontosaurus with bronchitis,
I've been like this for a week.


I′m acting rather civilized
But it′s not that I've been tamed,
I can′t go romping with my friends
'Cause my throat is all inflamed.
They say I look emaciated.
(That means I′ve gotten thin).
Mom feeds me tea with lemon,
Grandpa drops the nose drops in.

Grandma makes Cro-Magnon soup,
Dad give me vitamin C,
Mom gives me lots of orange juice,
And lets me watch TV.
All covered up in a fevered sweat,
My throat and chest both hurt.
But I get to watch The Flintstones
And have jello for desert
