Moni the Fly

Moni the Fly (in Spanish: La Mosca Moni) is a Dony and the Dinos song for kids ages 0 to 4. A song that builds itself: Compys has Moni the fly for breakfast, Rommy snacks on Compys, Carlos has Rommy for lunch, Dony devours Carlos... until Mossy jumps out of the water. Then the meteor falls and everyone comes out of the crater to dance.

“Moni the Fly” lyrics

English version. Each dino's signature sound is sung the same in both languages.

Once upon a time, in Chicxulub, in the Cretaceous era... there was a fly.
A fly? Bzzz!
Moni the fly!

Moni the fly, bzzz bzzz bzzz
flying and dancing, bzzz bzzz bzzz
and suddenly...!

Here comes Comrade Compys, twityti twityti
and CHOMP!... he had for breakfast
Moni the fly... bzzz!

Here comes Rommy the Raptor, púapúa púapúa
and CHOMP!... she snacked on
Comrade Compys... twityti,
who had for breakfast Moni the fly... bzzz!

Here comes Carlos the Carnotaurus, torotoro torotoro
and CHOMP!... he had for lunch
Rommy the Raptor... púapúa,
who snacked on Comrade Compys... twityti,
who had for breakfast Moni the fly... bzzz!

Here comes Dony Dino the Rex!, GRAWR
and CHOMP!... he devoured
Carlos the Carnotaurus... torotoro,
who had for lunch Rommy the Raptor... púapúa,
who snacked on Comrade Compys... twityti,
who had for breakfast Moni the fly... bzzz!

And here comes Mossy... the fly?
NO! MOSSY THE MOSASAURUS!
She jumped out of the water... and CHOMP!... SHE HAD DONY DINO FOR DINNER!
who devoured Carlos the Carnotaurus... torotoro,
who had for lunch Rommy the Raptor... púapúa,
who snacked on Comrade Compys... twityti,
who had for breakfast Moni the fly... bzzz!
And now what?!

And Mossy, so full and happy, floated in the sea...
But what is that coming from the sky?
Three... two... one...

BOOM!


And out of the crater they all came out to dance!
Moni the fly... bzzz!
Comrade Compys... twityti!
Rommy the Raptor... púapúa!
Carlos the Carnotaurus... torotoro!
Dony Dino the Rex!... GRAWR!
And Mossy from the sea!... splash!
Everybody's friends again!

And the meteorite?
It wants to dance too!
BOOM-boom-boom-BOOM!

Mateo the Meteor dancing

And the meteor?

He wants to dance too! Mateo the Meteor lands in Chicxulub with a BOOM! and, instead of scaring anyone, gets everybody dancing. Meet Mateo or read what really happened at Chicxulub.
