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 Could it be an herbivore Crushing plants with rounded teeth Or perhaps she's carnivore 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 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?
