(Sung to the tune of Alouette)
Allosaurus, Pachycephalasourus, Allosaurus, Tyrannasaurus REX!
Stegosaourus, Trachodon Triceratops, Pteranadon
Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Dinosaurs, Ooooohhhh
Allosaurus, Pachycephalasaurus Allosaurus, Tyrannosaurus REX!
Five enormous dinosaurs letting out a roar, one went away and then there were four.
Four enormous dinosaurs munching on a tree, one went away and then there were three.
Three enormous dinosaurs didn't know what to do, one went away and then there were two.
Two enormous dinosaurs having lots of fun, one went away and thern there was one.
One enormous dinosaur afraid to be a hero, he went away and then there was zero.

I like to use this as a transitioning activity.  I gather five of my large dinosaur figures and place them on the carpet in a row.  As we say the rhyme, one child comes up, takes one away, then goes to wash hands, get coat, etc.
Dino Ditty, Ditty Dum Ditty Do (to the tune of Do Wah Ditty )

Here he comes just a stomping with his feet
Singing "dino ditty, ditty dum ditty do"
Searching all around for something good to eat.
Singing " dino ditty, ditty dum ditty do"
He's Huge (he's huge)
He's Strong (he's strong)
He's huge, he's strong.  Won't be hungry very long
Dino ditty, ditty dum ditty do
Dino ditty ditty dum ditty do
Oh, I Want To Be A Great Big Dinosaur
(To the tune of Oscar Mayer Weiner)

Oh I want to be a great big dinosaur
That is what I really want to be
For if I was a great big dinosaur
Every one would run away from me!
Ahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
You can add skip away, stomp away, crawl away
