Dig, Dig, Dig, for Your Dinner

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
