They Might Be Giants - I Am a Paleontologist lyrics

rate me

I love diggin' in the dirt

With just a pick and brush

Finding fossils is my aim

So I'm never in a rush

The treasures that I seek

Are rare and ancient things

Like velociraptor's jaw

Or archaeopteryx's wing

And all the kids

Who wanna see 'em

Are lining up

At our museum

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

Could it be an herbivore

Crushing plants with rounded teeth

Or perhaps she's carnivore

Moves so quickly on its feet

It's like pieces of a puzzle

That I love to try and solve

It's so fun to think about

How a species has evolved

Now all the kids

Who wanna see 'em

Can check 'em out

At our museum

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

Is it a T-Rex? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)

(Digging, digging, digging, digging)

Or a Triceratops? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)

(Digging, digging, digging, digging)

Or is it a Carnosaur? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)

(Digging, digging, digging, digging)

(Digging, digging, digging, digging, dig)

Pachycephalosaurus?

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

I am a paleontologist

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am

That's who I am, that's who I am, that's who I am
