[HANASHIR:16340] Re: Dinosaur Knockin'

[Josh Miller <jmiller...>]

Hey All,

Sure the dinosaur song is a little schticky, but in its defense, I've
found it to be a great teaching tool to help my youngest music students
focus on the things we do on shabbat (candles, wine, challah, eating,
prayers, singing dancing). To help this along, when I sing the verses to
this one, I usually sing each line and then make the kids finish by
singing the last word without me.

Here's the version I use (slightly different from the one posted earlier)
that rhymes a little better and has a second verse:

   There's a dinosaur knocking at my door 
   Knockin' one two three (kids make a knock-knock-knock
sound with their tongues/mouths)
   There's a dinosaur knocking at my door 
   And he wants to have Shabbat 
   He wants to have Shabbat 
   He wants to have Shabbat with me. 

Oh he wants to light the candles and 
He wants to drink the wine. 
He wants to eat the challah and 
With us he wants to dine!

Chorus

Oh he wants to say some prayers
He wants to sing a shabbos song
He wants to do a little dance
He just wants to get along!

Chorus
