Dig You Little Diggers Dig
Nancy Welford
Daughters of an ancient trade
Pick up your little spade
Lady of the dimpled knee
Go find the golden key
Gold diggers on parade, march on
While you are fancy free and fair
Daughters of an ancient trade
Pick up your little spade
I guess the ancient game is
Dead, dead, dead
There is gold in them thar hills
Check-books and yellow bills
If a papa smiles at you
Be sure he's well to do
Go get some more go get it before it's gone
Get paid and paid and whisper the maiden's prayer
Dig, dig, with your little shovel
Dig up a daddy dear
Dig, dig, just a little love will dig up a daddy here
Just like those forty-niners
We're little miners
We've staked our claims and now we'll show you how to
Dig, dig, get a lot of thrills
And dig up someone who'll pay
Big, big, big and little bills, that keep piling up each day
Prospectors, collectors, of dough-dee-oh-dough
Just dig, dig
Show your pretty figgers
Dig you little diggers dig, dig
