Song Lyrics[]
1991 Version[]
Anthony: (speaking) This is a story of a not-so-scary dinosaur named Dorothy.
Greg: 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 that's big is that it's feeding night and day
I'd have to find a place where I could hide her away
Dorothy the Dinosaur
Murray: (as Dorothy) Mmm, roses, good. I like it here!
Wiggles: Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Greg: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Chomp
I knew that she was so big that she'd soon be found
My mother called the dogcatcher; he came around
When he laid his eyes on her, he fell to the ground
Jeff: (as the Dog Catcher) "Now I take it, that's Dorothy the Dinosaur!"
Murray: (as Dorothy) I'm hungry... do you think I could try something in the backyard now?
Wiggles: 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
Greg: 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!"
Murray: (as Dorothy) That's me! Oh, my stomach hurts... and I'm still hungry.
Wiggles: Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Greg: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Chomp
Murray: (as Dorothy) These roses sure are good!
Wiggles: Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Greg: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Chomp
Murray: (as Dorothy) Oh, my stomach... I like these roses, mmm!
Wiggles: Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Romp Bomp a Chomp, Romp Bomp a Chomp
Greg: Dorothy the Dinosaur, Chomp
