Lyrics I Am a Paleontologist - They Might Be Giants feat. Danny Weinkauf
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
