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.    CHORUS 2:    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.
