The Fairy Dinosaur
I’m a dinosaur longing to be
the fairy on top of the Christmas tree.
I’m a metre tall so not very big.
I have no hair, so I'll wear a pink wig.
I'll make a pearl necklace and silvery wings,
have sparkly blue shoes and five golden rings,
a rainbow wand and a diamond crown
and billowing yellowy fairy-light gown.
Now that I’m ready, I’m too large and too bright,
so, I’ll perch in an oak tree and light up the night.
the fairy on top of the Christmas tree.
I’m a metre tall so not very big.
I have no hair, so I'll wear a pink wig.
I'll make a pearl necklace and silvery wings,
have sparkly blue shoes and five golden rings,
a rainbow wand and a diamond crown
and billowing yellowy fairy-light gown.
Now that I’m ready, I’m too large and too bright,
so, I’ll perch in an oak tree and light up the night.
