Barry Louis Polisar - A Brontosaurus With Bronchitis

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

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

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