I’m digging for diamonds. I’m digging for gold.
I’m digging for silver that’s shiny and cold.
I’m digging all day and I’m digging all night.
I’m digging for rubies all sparkling and bright.
I plan to get famous. I plan to get rich
by digging up gemstones in ditch after ditch.
And yet, from these ditches I’ve dug in the ground,
there weren’t any diamonds or coins to be found.
I haven’t got silver or rubies, you see…
I just have my mom and dad yelling at me.
For though I found nothing from digging till dawn,
my parents found holes where we once had a lawn.
