In 1976 Years before I was born Dad put a brick in the cistern Dad put a brick in the cistern In 1976 Dad saw a stack of bricks And thought: One of them'll do for the cistern One of them'll do for the cistern All these years later The brick is still there I say it doesn't have to be He says he doesn't care There isn't a drought But he won't take it out He just loves to have a brick in the cistern Dad put a brick in the cistern In 1976 Years before I was born Dad put a brick in the cistern

Well, her sister used to hate it So I never thought she'd make it But she threw you all Supposing in a spangle wrapper She will let you stroke her head But if you move away, you're dead She just breaks you up before you realize it's happened But she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Until you know what she's really got 'Cause she can do it loud But she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Well, I know she could really rock, she'll do it, do it now Do it, do it, do it Well, her daddy's getting old And he seemed to lose control When the brontosaurus stormed into the house to trap her Well, her sister used to hate it So I never thought she'd make it Until she shook you up exactly like a firecracker But she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Until you know what she's really got 'Cause she can do it loud And she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Well, I know she can really rock, she'll do it, do it now Do it, do it, do it Well, she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Until she know what she's really got, so she can do it Well, she can really do the brontosaurus And she can scream the heeby-jeebies for us Until she know what she's really got 'Cause she can do it Well, she can really do the brontosaurus And she can really do the brontosaurus And she can really do the brontosaurus, yeah Woo
