Welcome to south dakota

Here in early july

Tucked away in the black hills

On an especially starry night

A concrete green brontosaurus

Has a subtle glint in her eye.

Cuz under the moonlight

When the moment is right

Under the moonlight

Things come alive.

In dinosaur park

Long after dark

I wonder what happens there

When no one's around

Does some kinda magic fill the air?

I won't ever prove

Statues can move

But I'd like to think they do

So I make believe

With all of my heart

There's magic afoot

Unseen in the dark

In dinosaur park.

Boy, I love rapid city

And that hilltop of beasts

When I gaze up at that t-rex

It's like he's staring back at me

Yeah those old dinosaur sculptures

Fill my heart with awe and intrigue.

Cuz under the moonlight

When the moment is right

Under the moonlight

Things come alive.

In dinosaur park

Long after dark

I wonder what happens there

When no one's around

Does some kinda magic fill the air?

I won't ever prove

Statues can move

But I'd like to think they do

So I make believe

With all of my heart

There's magic afoot

Unseen in the dark

In dinosaur park.

Cuz when the moon's sitting pretty

Above rapid city

There's much more than meets the eye

And I can only imagine

What strange things could happen

When nobody's on skyline drive

And when I leave minnesota

To see south dakota

I got a lot of things on my mind

Cuz I can only imagine

What strange things could happen

Up on top of that hill at night.

What do dinosaurs talk about

When they're alone?

Before the sun comes up

And they turn back to stone

Do they look down on the city lights

Even though they don't bat an eye?

And then at night, when the moon is bright

Do they come alive?

I have a sneaking suspicion inside.

Cuz in dinosaur park

Long after dark

I wonder what happens there

When no one's around

Does some kinda magic fill the air?

I won't ever prove

Statues can move

But I'd like to think they do

I don't know how

And I don't know why

But I get the feeling deep down inside

There's magic afoot

In the middle of the night.

Cuz when the moon's sitting pretty

Above rapid city

There's much more than meets the eye

And I can only imagine

What strange things could happen

When nobody's on skyline drive

And when I leave minnesota

To see south dakota

I got a lot of things on my mind

Cuz I can only imagine

What strange things could happen

Up on top of that hill at night.

In dinosaur park

In dinosaur park.
