Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band - The Smithsonian Institute Blues (Or The Big Dig) Lyrics






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' 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
It sure looks funny for a new dinosaur
To 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

    How the hell did he write this song? All the ingredients are wrong. Paleontology ain't rock 'n roll, the beat entirely breaks down, but strangely.....it works. Love it.
