He's a scholar, he's a spy

Give a holler, he's a stand-up guy

Indiana is his name

And wherever there's treasure

Adventure is his claim to fame

 

Slyly sifting through the stacks

Nimbly lifting ancient artifacts

Punching Nazis in the face

Keep a grip on your whip

We'll go zipping all over the place

I was in university

It was all very new to me

My professor helped me to see

There's a world long ago that we can know

That's what I'll be!

 

Then one day, working in the field

Who can say what a dig will yield?

Found a tomb, but the door was sealed

And that's when the doc picked up a rock

Lined up a shot, hit the right spot

Door opened wide, we looked inside

All was revealed!

 

You'll get muddy, just like me

When you study archaeology

Sure it's bloody, but it's grand

When you zoom through a tomb

To your doom with your hat in your hand

 

Funny feeling?  Check for traps

Watch the ceiling, 'cause it might collapse

Find the treasure, then get out

Sling the gold o'er your shoulder

Be sure there's no boulders about

 

Over seas, under stones

Life's a breeze with Professor Jones

He can lecture with the best

And whatever comes after

This chapter will be on the test

 

/ Eb - F - / / / G - - ! /

 

Over seas, under stones

Find the keys, bag the bones

With Indiana Jones!
