Professor Flint — I Wanna Be a Palaeontologist lyrics

Lyrics

In the hills around Dundee
I spent my days in the dirt (Och, aye!)
Digging was the thing for me
Then one day, as I dug (Och, aye!)
I found some old seashells
And I wondered about that dirt (Och, aye!)
And the stories it might tell, so I said
I wanna be a palaeontologist
I wanna dig up rocks and bones
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Uncovering the great unknowns
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Be part of a bold new team
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Living the dream!
I went to visit Loch Ness (Och, aye!)
For so many have heard it said
That a monster dwells beneath (Och, aye!)
From the land of the living dead
Not a thing was ever found (Och, aye!)
But it made me think a tad
About monsters from the past (Och, aye!)
Of the real things Earth once had
I wanna be a palaeontologist
I wanna dig up rocks and bones
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Uncovering the great unknowns
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Be part of a bold new team
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Living the dream!
I wanna be a palaeontologist
I wanna dig up rocks and bones
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Uncovering the great unknowns
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Be part of a bold new team
I wanna be a palaeontologist
Living the dream!
