Come on down t' the big dig   Come on down t' the big dig   Come on t' the big dig   Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues   Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues   The way it's goin' La Brea tar pits   I know you just can't lose   The new dinosaur is walkin' in the old one's shoes   Come on down t' the big dig   Can't get around the big dig   This may be premature but if I'm wrong   You can just say it's the first time I was happy t' be confused   Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues   Alll you new dinosaurs   Now it's up t' you t' choose   It sure looks funny for a new dinosaur   T' be in an old dinosaur's shoes   Dina Shore's shoes   Dinosaur shoes   C'mon down to the big dig   You can't get around the big dig   C'mon to the big dig   Ya can't get around the big dig   Singin' the Smithsonian Institute blues
