If you wanna live it up and drive a limousine
Have plenty money in your blue jeans
And lot of pretty women hangin' on your wing
Pay attention man, you will get just what I mean

You gotta dig boy, dig boy dig-dig boy
Dig boy, ooh dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, to get ahead in the world

Gotta stretch all your nickles, dimes and pennies too
Ole mother nature 'll get the best of you
A time to change, you better get wise
Or you'll find yourself a-slippin' like a lot of other guys

If you don't dig boy, dig boy dig-dig boy
Dig boy, ooh dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, to get ahead in the world

If you wanna step out in the upper class
Have them to whistle if you by pass
And at drivin' try your chance to stop
You get a lot of attention from a pretty cop

If you will dig boy, dig boy dig-dig boy
Dig boy, ooh dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, to get ahead in the world

Now, it ain't no lie that I'm a-tellin' you
Cross my heart, hope to die, it's true
A little bit advice in the words of a song
Watch yourself fellow, you may go wrong

You gotta dig boy, dig boy dig-dig boy
Dig boy, ooh dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, dig boy dig
Dig boy, to get ahead in the world
