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
