Know When You're Out of Your Era

"I just flew in from the Cretaceous period... and boy are my arms tired!"

Is this thing working? Is this thing on?

"I tried to get a job as an undercover spy, but they said the wings were too memorable, so (gimme a break!) I couldn't get hired!"

They wouldn't have said it to a mastodon!

"I thought this was the circus and I'd ride the {HA!} carn-i-vore!"

I know that you hear me, Hey- yeah you! You blinked!

"You might as well give in- I've got a hundred more!"

Wow! I'm not just dying here- I'm already extinct.

"I'm not who you thought I'd be, not one you know best."

Why do they always want to see T Rex?

"But now that I'm here, you wanna pet my crest?"

Between the two of us I've got the most impressive pecs.

"Thanks for having me, happy to be here, folks!"

To see me up close they'd need to go to Bavaria.

"I'll work on my routine and get better jokes."

Why am I always left out of the Dino-hysteria?!
