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.

Having lots of fun,
One went away
And then there was one.

Afraid to be a hero,
He (she) went away
And then there were zero.
