They Might Be Giants lyrics : "I Am A Paleontologist"

I love diggin' in the dirt
With just a pick and brush
Finding fossils is my aim

So I'm never in a rush
'Cause the treasures that I seek
Are rare and ancient things

Like Velociraptor's jaw
Or Archaeopteryx's wings


Now 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 ferocious carnivore
Who 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


And 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? (I keep digging, digging, digging, digging)

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

Or a Carnotaur? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging, diggin')

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
