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
