Warning: You are not prepared for the song you are about to hear. Sure. It’s a song about dinosaurs being in love written by a three-year-old girl. So, you might think it’ll be cute, maybe enchanting. “Dinosaurs in Love,” written by Fenn, the daughter of singer/songwriter Tom Rosenthal, is both. But it’s more. It’s here to wreck you.
Do you dare listen?
Fenn, my nearly 4 year old daughter, recorded her first ever solo song today. She came up with all the words herself and I helped her a little bit with the tune. It’s called ‘Dinosaurs in Love’. 🦕â¤ï¸ðŸ¦• pic.twitter.com/erCgG0sUvP

Here are the lyrics of “Dinosaurs in Love”:
Dinosaurs eating people
Dinosaurs in love
Dinosaurs having a party
They eat fruit and cucumber
They fell in love
They say ‘thank you’
A big bang came
And they died
Dinosaurs dinosaurs fell in love
But they didn’t say goodbyyye
But they didn’t say Good Bye
Rosenthal posted Fenn’s heartbreaking ballad of love and extinction on Twitter on Tuesday. Since then, the song has been played 3.1 million times. Twitter users went wild for “Dinosaurs in Love.”
