La letra de la canción es la siguiente:
When I was an itty bitty lad, auch aye,
In the hills around Dundee,
I sepent my days in the dirt, auch aye,
Digging was the thing for me.
Then one day as I dug, auch aye,
I found some old sea shells,
And I wondered about that dirt, auch 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, auch aye,
For so many have heard it said,
That a monster dwells beneath, auch aye,
From the land of the living dead,
Not a thing was ever found, auch aye,
But it made me think a tad,
About monsters from the past, auch aye,
Of the real things Earth once had.
(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!
