Dig!

(album: Gulp! - 2022)

Oh, c c c call on me
Oh, c c c call

Dirt on the cuffs, it comes around
Watch the river run on the sunny side of town
Heavy hammer pegging the line the roaring sound
With the city spread on the mind, you read their mind
And they're digging

Dig in the ground
The ground the hot digging deeper
Dig in the ground
They dig, they dig
Digging deeper
Dig in the ground
The ground, the ground
Getting deeper
Dig in the ground
The ground, the ground
Get in deeper

Ah, who's on the round, the round chalk 'em up
I schlepped around, around to the corner shop
Oh no, they smile, they smile, they smile, they smile for him
And that that that that, that's when the penny drops

Deep in the ground
The ground, the ground
Comes for him
Deep in the ground
The ground, the ground
Comes for him
Deep in the ground
The ground, the ground
Comes for him
Deep in the ground
The ground, the ground
Comes for him

Rolling around and back to the corner shop
Blue plastic bag, it's packed on the countertop
He knows the smile, he knows when it's coming
When you're deep in the ground, you dig, dig

Oh, dirt on the cuffs, it comes around
Roll a cigarette on the empty side of town
Where the birds dip eying the ground as worms come out
With the morning fresh on the mind, he read their mind
And they're digging

Dig in the ground
The ground the hot digging deeper
Dig in the ground
They dig, they dig
Digging deeper
Dig in the ground
The ground, the ground
Getting deeper
Dig in the ground
The ground, the ground
Get in deeper

Rolling around and back to the corner shop
He knows the line the shopkeeper always drops
He knows the smile, he knows when it's coming
When you're deep in the ground, dig!

Ah ha, he's hotter than a car bonnet
You could light a cigarette on him
Ah ha, he's hotter than a car bonnet
Oh, you could cook a whole omelette
