Gene Kelly - Dig for your dinner' lyrics

(Kelly (spoken):) I don't want to sound like I'm preachin' a sermon (Silvers (spoken):) Oh, preach to me, preach! (Kelly (sung):) But I've heard people say: (Silvers (spoken:) What did they say? (Kelly (spoken:) They said, uh... (Kelly (sung):) The early bird catches the worm... 'N there's a lot of good logic in that old cliche (Silvers (spoken:) You know he's right, listen to him children, he's right! (Kelly (sung):) There are certain obligations you just can't shirk You've got to put the heat on to make the kettle perk (Silvers (spoken):) Now ain't dat da troo...? Are ya list'nin' to da man? Dis is da man who saved me... I was wicked I was mad But dis is de man who showed me da way Dis is da man who took me by da han' up to da glory room Dis is da man who showed me da light Dis man here, dis is da man who gave me da beat Dis is da man who made me be righteous Dis man... (Kelly (sung):) And if you want it to be a good day You've gotta do a good day's work; 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
