Lyrics:I Am A Paleontologist

From This Might Be A Wiki
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
The treasures that I seek
Are rare and ancient things
Like velociraptor's jaw
Or archaeopteryx's wing

And 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

{can't hear lyric}
Like pieces of a puzzle
{can't hear lyric}
It's so fun to think about
How these pieces have evolved

Now 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? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
Or a Triceratops? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
Or is it a Carnosaur? (Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging)
(Digging, digging, digging, digging, dig)
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
