When I was nine years old
Way back in Ohio
The hired man was digging up a well

On my father's land
He found a fossil there


It was a massive bone
And since then I've known
That a race of giants lived in the northern hemisphere

Ten thousand years ago they lived right here

It seems incredible

But yet it's the truth
That a fossilized and petrified
Calcified primeval brute


Was turned to stone
But he was not alone

There were hundreds of them walking on the sand toward river
Even giants think they'll always live forever


Ya da da de
Ya da da da da de
Ya da da de

Ya da da da da de
Ya da da de
Ya da da da da de


Where a stream once flowed
Into the Ohio

Everything was turned to stone
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
The bible speaks of this

There were giants in our midst
But they slaughtered one another in a meaningless war
Thank your lucky stars that we don't do that anymore


That gravel-encrusted skull
That was found on a river shoal

Double rows of very sharp teeth
The massive jaw measured twenty-five feet


Well it's turned to stone
There were hundreds of them walking on the sand toward river
Even giants think they'll always live forever


Hey-hey-ay-e-ah
Oh-hey-e-ay-e-aye

Ah-ay-e-ay-ah-oh-a-oh
Hey-hey-ay-e-ah
Oh-hey-e-ay-e-aye

Ah-ay-e-ay-ah-oh-a-oh

The bible speaks of this

There were giants in our midst
But they slaughtered one another in a meaningless war
Thank your lucky stars that we don't do that anymore


That gravel-encrusted skull
That was found on a river shoal

Double rows of very sharp teeth
The massive jaw measured twenty-five feet


Well it's turned to stone
There were hundreds of them walking on the sand toward the river
Even giants think they'll always live forever
