Carleton Carpenter - Dig Dig Dig Dig For Your Dinner Lyrics




[ Featuring Gene Kelly, Phil Silvers ]

I DON'T WANT TO SOUND LIKE I'M PREACHIN' A SERMON, BUT I'VE HEARD PEOPLE SAY: THE EARLY BIRD CATCHES THE WORM; 'N THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD LOGIC IN THAT OLD CLICHE. THERE ARE CERTAIN OBLIGATIONS YOU JUST CAN'T SHIRK, YOU'VE GOT TO PUT THE HEAT ON TO MAKE THE KETTLE PERK; AND IF YOU WANT IT TO BE A GOOD DAY, YOU'VE GOT TO DO A GOOD DAY'S WORK. CHORUS 1: YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, NOTHIN'S WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE. YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, NEVER WAS A MONEY TREE. AND FURTHERMORE, MY FRIENDS, I MUST REPEAT, NOBODY'S LIVIN' DOWN ON EASY STREET; AND IF YOU WANT TO OWE FOR GROCERIES, YOU'RE GONNA GET AN AWFUL LOT OF 'NO SIR-EE'S.' YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR A DOLLAR, 'TAINT AS SIMPLE AS YOU THINK. YOU CAN'T PURLOIN A SIRLOIN OR THE BUTCHER WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLINK. YOU JUST CAN'T BE A LAZY BIRD, YOU'VE GOTTA GET OFF O' YOUR TWIG; SO YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR ROOM AND YOUR BOARD, AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE THE PRICE OF A 'CIG.' SAY, YOU'VE GOTTA PAY THE FIDDLER MAN IF YOU WANT TO DO A JIG. YOU'VE GOTTA BE AS BUSY AS A BEE TO BE A MISTER B. I. G. AND IF YOU WANT SOME DIG-DIG-DIGNITY, YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG. CHORUS 2: YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, NOTHIN'S WHAT YOU GET FOR FREE. YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, NEVER WAS A MONEY TREE. AND FURTHERMORE, MY FRIENDS, I MUST REPEAT, NOBODY'S LIVIN' DOWN ON EASY STREET; AND IF YOU WANT TO OWE FOR GROCERIES, YOU'RE GONNA GET AN AWFUL LOT OF 'NO SIR-EE'S.' YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR A DOLLAR, 'TAINT AS SIMPLE AS YOU THINK. YOU CAN'T PURLOIN A SIRLOIN OR THE BUTCHER WILL PUT YOU IN THE CLINK. YOU JUST CAN'T BE A LAZY BIRD, YOU'VE GOTTA GET OFF O' YOUR TWIG; SO YOU CAN AFFORD YOUR ROOM AND YOUR BOARD, AND IT'S NICE TO HAVE THE PRICE OF A 'CIG.' SAY, YOU'VE GOTTA PAY THE FIDDLER MAN IF YOU WANT TO DO A JIG. YOU'VE GOTTA BE AS BUSY AS A BEE TO BE A MISTER B. I. G. AND IF YOU WANT SOME DIG-DIG-DIGNITY, YOU'VE GOTTA DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG FOR YOUR DINNER, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG, DIG. (SPOKEN:) RIGHT!
