                Ohhh—

 

                Stinky pterodactyl

                In the land of Goo

                Going all protractile

                Licking on a shoe

 

                Tearing lice from bedsprings

                In a most endearing way

                Wooly pterodactyl

                Bee-Dactyl-Doo I. A.

 

                Groggy pterodactyl

                Slipping off to sleep

                Grunts and squeaks and scrunches

                While gnawing proto-sheep

 

                Ripping flesh from tendon

                It’s what you like to do.

                Silly ol’ pter’dactyl

                Bee-Dactyl-Dandy Doo.

 

                Oh, once I had a girl friend

                Her hair and eyes so fair

                She had an alteration

                That really made me care

 

                I couldn’t use the ancient screeds

                To see what I should do

                I turned to pterodactyl.

                We ate a kangaroo.

 

                Screechy pterodactyl

                Flying ‘round my head

                Snapping at exposed parts

                That’s hanging off my bed

 

                Teeth as sharp as candy

                That’s sucked until its thin

                Purdy pterodactyl

                Bee-Dactyl-Doo I. M.
