There are dinosaurs stuck here in the old tar pits,
Get the dinosaurs out of the old tar pits,
They were kings like Elvis, they got swivel hips,
Who'll buy them some guitars and some guitar picks?
Mad men sleeping by the river Styx,
Wild men peeing in the river Styx,
They trust "the suits" as far as they can spit,
Who will book them a room at the Motel 6?
Skeleton fingers on rusty strings,
Parchment plans and cobweb dreams,
Not even as asterisk in the history books,
Playing bad ass licks while they lose their looks,
They don't have the fortune, don't have the fame,
They cry, "Dear God Almighty, please remember my name."
There were giants in the land in those ancient days,
There were giants in the land, now they're in their graves,
Indifference killed them and buried the band,
All they wanted was a tour and a rental van.
The sun's going down upon the Sunset Strip,
An old pirate's run aground out on the Sunset Strip,
He's got a boatload of songs, but never a hit,
The sun's going down, and so is the ship.
There's someone drumming in the mummy's crypt,
Someone's drumming in the mummy's crypt,
He won't get his act together 'til he's well equipped,
'Cause it's hard to play solo when you got one stick.
Chicken's roosting, cow's home in the barn,
The farmer didn't know it 'til he bought the farm,
He's outstanding in the field that did him in,
He's been growing what he's sowing 'til he reaped the wind,
All of the farmers singing this refrain: "Oh, Lord of the harvest, please remember my name."
There were giants in the land in those ancient days,
There were giants in the land, now they're in their graves,
Indifference killed them and buried the band,
All they needed was Per Diem and a chance to jam.
There are dinosaurs stuck here in the old tar pits,
Get the dinosaurs out of the old tar pits,
They were kings like Elvis, they got swivel hips,
Gotta buy them some guitars and some guitar picks.
In those ancient days there were giants in the land,
You wanna raise em up? - you gotta give them a hand,
In those ancient days there were giants in the land.
