Intro: verse 1 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 verse 2 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 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 BRIDGE 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 OUTRO
