Lyrics

I was sit tin’ in sci ence class,

won d’rin’ if we’d have a test,

when the teach er showed a pic ture of a pre his tor ic crea ture, it was

a T.

REX!

Teeth like dag gers, eyes like light ning, that T.

Rex was ver y fright ’ning!

I was walk in’ down by the creek,

and can an y bod y guess,

what I glanced, as if by chance, a su per nat’ ral cir cum stance, it was a,

a T.

REX!

Teeth like dag gers, eyes like light ning, that T.

Rex was ver y fright ’ning!

I was run nin’ through farms and yards,

and when I sat down to rest,

I could not think how I got in to this ter ri fy ing spot, I was scared and un pre pared to face this di no saur night mare, I as sumed that I was doomed when my friend took off his cos tume, he was the

the T.

REX!

Teeth like dag gers, eyes like light ning, that T.

Rex was

not so fright ’ning.

T.rex by Jeremy Siskind — Easy Piano for Kids

This page shows “T.rex” by Jeremy Siskind in our color-coded kid songbook view — every note is colored by pitch (red C, orange D, yellow E, green F, blue G, purple A, pink B) and the lyrics sit directly under each note, so children can sing along while they play. The song is in the key of C at 132 BPM, a slightly more challenging arrangement — practice each phrase slowly first.

Tips for parents & teachers

  • Start at 50% tempo using the BPM control. Speed up only when your child can play through without stopping.
  • Turn on the metronome from the top bar to build steady rhythm.
  • Use the segmented OFF / C / 1 button to toggle note labels on the staff and keys — kids learn note names faster with letters showing.
  • Tap a measure number on the timeline to jump to a specific section for repeat practice.
