They Might Be Giants, Danny Weinkauf - I Am a Paleontologist lyrics

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 it's 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
