Lyrics They Might Be Giants

They Might Be Giants

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
