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
