[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!

[Post-Chorus]
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

[Verse 1]
Old man, why are you starin' at me?
Mack on me and my friends, it's kinda creepy
You should be prowlin' around the old folks home (Oh!)
C'mon, dude, leave us alone
At first we thought that it was kinda ill when
We saw that you were like a billion
And still out tryin' to make a killin'
Get back to the museum

[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!

[Post-Chorus]
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Yeah, you're pretty old
(Ah-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha...)
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!)

[Verse 2]
Not long 'til you're a senior citizen
And you can strut around with that sexy tank of oxygen (Ooh!)
Honey, your toupée is fallin' to your left side
Get up and go bro, oh wait, you're fossilized, ha!
You sit down, buy me a martini
Won't go away, my hints aren't sinking
"Hey," you say, "Wanna come with me?"
I'm about to barf, seriously? (Seriously, ah!)

[Chorus]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
An O-L-D-M-A-N
You're just an old man
Hittin' on me, what?
You need a CAT scan!

[Post-Chorus]
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey dinosaur, baby, you're prehistoric
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!
Hey carnivore, you want my meat, I know it
Hey dinosaur, that's what you are, ha!

[Outro]
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha!
D-I-N-O-S-A
U-R a dinosaur
D-I-N-O-S-A, that's what you are, ha!

Kesha

Kesha Rose Sebert, whose mononymous stage name was previously spelled Ke$ha, is an American singer-songwriter best known for hits like “Tik Tok” and “Praying.” Her mother, Pebe Sebert is also a songwriter, and the two have worked together on songs like “Learn to Let Go.”

In 2005, at age eighteen, Kesha signed a record deal with Dr. Luke’s Kemosabe Records. Her first major recording was an uncredited feature on Flo Rida’s 2009 hit “Right ‘Round,” which she recorded after walking into a session between Flo and Dr. Luke. She released her debut album, Animal, the next year, after choosing from hundreds of songs, and the record debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Lead single “Tik Tok” broke the record for the longest time for a female artist’s debut single to top the Billboard Hot 100.

Nine months after Animal dropped, Kesha rereleased it alongside Cannibal, an extended play featuring hits like “We R Who We R,” which debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and “Blow.” In February 2011, Kesha kicked off her Get Sleazy Tour, which travelled through the Americas, Europe, and Australia. During the tour, she began writing for her sophomore album, Warrior, which was released in November 2012. She then embarked on a world tour, and was joined by future “Timber” collaborator Pitbull on the North American leg.
