Lyrics

If I was a dinosaur
I'd be a Reginasaurus
And if I knew a million English words
I'd have my own Spektor's thesaurus
If I was born in the merry month of May
Then I would be a Taurus
And if I had a little extra time on my hands
Then I'd surely join a chorus
Bum, bum, bum

If I was a philosophy
I'd be Registentianalism
And if people spoke using quotes of me
They'd speak Regina-isms
If i was a religion of me
Then my church would surely have a schism
They'd be Regewish and Registian and Reguslim and Reguddhist and Regatheist
But they'd still be friends!

If I was a great big city
I'd be Reginapolis
And no one would be hungry or cold
In my thriving metropolis
Unless, of course, they came down with a bad case of Reginitis
It's a headache, and a heartache, and a... And a sunburn... And a something.. And something.. And an acute gastritis
Bum, bum, bum!

But if I was a dinosaur
I'd be a Reginasaurus
And if I knew a million English words
I'd have my own Spektor's thesaurus
If I was born in the merry month of May
Then I would be a Taurus
And if I had a little extra time on my hands
Then I'd surely join a chorus
