Lyrics

[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 [Pre-Chorus] Now all the kids who wanna see 'em Are lining up at our museum [Chorus] 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 [Pre-Chorus] And all the kids who wanna see 'em Can check 'em out at our museum [Chorus] 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? [Chorus] 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 [Outro] 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
