lyrics

Digging a hole is easy
Easiest thing around
You just pick up a shovel
And you shove it right in the ground
And when you get the dirt out
You’ve got room enough
To make buried treasure
Out of just about any old stuff
YEAH!
What can we bury (3x)
Down in the bottom of the hole?

(see Daddy’s car keys?)

Daddy keeps his car keys
All safe and close at hand
But if we only borrow them
I’m sure he’ll understand
And if we bury them in the ground
Before this moment’s past
Daddy’ll get a chance to use
That metal detector at last!
COOL!
What else can we bury (3x)
Down in the bottom of the hole?

(see Granny’s false teeth?)

Granny keeps her false teeth
In a jar at the head of the bed
But she doesn’t even notice
When they’re not in her head
And if we bury them in the ground
for a thousand years or two
Stupid old archeologists
Won’t even have a clue!
WOW!
What else can we bury...

(see Mommy’s iphone?)

Mommy’s Apple iphone
It is her joy and pride
Everything she needs to know
Is right there safe inside
But she doesn’t have a backup
And we really think she should
Maybe we can grow an apple tree
If we water it really good!
SWEET!
What else can we bury...

(oh no!)

Here comes little sister
She’s always sneaking around
She’s been watching us kyping stuff
and hiding it in the ground
She’s gonna run tell Mommy
And spoil all our fun...

WHAT ELSE CAN WE BURY
WHAT ELSE CAN WE BURY
WHAT ELSE CAN WE BURY
DOWN IN THE BOTTOM OF THE HOLE?
