The Smithsonian Institute Blues (Or The Big Dig)

Come on down to the big dig

Come on down to the big dig

Come on to the big dig

Singin' the Smithsonian Institute Blues

Singin' the Smithsonian Institute Blues

The way it's goin' in 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 to 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 to be confused

Singin' the Smithsonian Institute Blues

All you new dinosaurs

Now it's up to you to choose

'Fore your feet hit the tar

You'd better kick off them old shoes

And forget about that big dig

Now you see it and it's up to you to choose

It sure looks funny for a new dinosaur

To be in an old dinosaur's shoes

Dinah Shore shoes

Dinosaur shoes

C'mon down to the big dig

You can't get around the big dig

C'mon to the big dig

Can't get around the big dig
