Dig



Dig, dig, dig for victory.
Dig, dig, dig for your sanity.
Conducting a suburban backyard excavation,
Is a deep, deep way to cope with isolation.

With each stroke of the hoe,
With each shovel of the shovel
I’m starting to build
My own escape tunnel.
I tell myself I’m digging to fill a raised bed,
Or to make a new pond;
But, I have profound reasons
For my mining operations,
As I delve beneath the surface
For the answer in the soil
I’ll disinter the truth
As the outcome of my toil
I will dig it all out, sooner or later,
Even if my garden
Becomes one vast crater.

Dig, dig, dig for victory.
Dig, dig, dig for your sanity.
Conducting a suburban backyard excavation,
Is a deep, deep way to cope with isolation.

So, if you’ve got a back yard,
Don’t sit inside and mope,
Or do virtual meetings,
Or do drink or dope,
Get digging and keep digging
It’s the only hope.

Dig, dig, dig for victory.
Dig, dig, dig for your sanity.
Conducting a suburban backyard excavation,
Is a deep, deep way to cope with isolation.
