LYRICS

Pirate Treasure





We sets our sails for a pirate treasure 
Yo ho ho is the song we sings 
Oh, my bones! If we ever find her 
Rich we'll be, like Persian kings 

Digging down deep! (8x) 

Digging down deep for a pirate treasure 
Bakes our backs in the noonday sun 
Cares not we if we never find her 
Search itself is half the fun, yo 
The search is half the fun! 

Digging down deep! (7x) 

We sets our sails for a pirate treasure 
Yo ho ho is the song we sings 
Oh, my bones! If we ever find her 
Rich we'll be, like Persian kings 
Digging down deep for a pirate treasure 
Bakes our backs in the noonday sun 
Cares not we if we never find her 
Search itself is half the fun, yo 
The search is half the fun! 

Could it be buried in a foreign land? 
Aye, Matey, dig it down deep! 
Could it be hiding in the island sand? 
Aye, Matey, dig it down deep! 
Could it be sitting under this here tree? 
Aye, Matey, dig it down deep! 
Could it be waiting there just for me? 
Aye, Matey, dig it down deep! 

Digging down deep! (8x) 
Digging down deep! (7x)




Bounce Like a Bunny





Let me tell you about the bunnies
A female is called a doe
A boy is called a buck 
And they live underground in a burrow

CHORUS
Bounce, bounce, bounce like a bunny
Hop, hopping all around
Bounce, bounce, bounce like a bunny
Jump up and down to the underground
Jump up and down to the underground

Let me tell you a little more
A baby is called a kit
Or a kitten, isn't that crazy? 
And there is no hair on it

CHORUS

Bunnies live in groups, of many burrows called a warren
And you know they have long ears
That's why we adore 'em

CHORUS
Jump up and down to the underground
Jump up and down to the underground...




Dig it



I m not digging up fossils
Or digging up stone
Not digging up power lines
Or old dog bones 
Can you dig it
Tell me can you dig it

I'm not digging up dirt
Or a tunnel hole
Not digging down to China
Or digging for coal
Can you dig it
Tell me can you dig it

Not digging like a mole in the underground
Not digging rock bands with a Woodstock sound
Not digging for worms in my back yard
But I can dig up anything right here with library card
Can you dig it
Tell me can you dig it

If you dig fables or
Dig history
If you dig science 
or dig fantasy
You can dig it
Tell me can you dig it

If you dig poems
Or you dig non fiction
If you dig graphic novels
Or dig classic tradition
You can dig it
Tell me can you dig it

I can dig up information from any time or place
I cam dig up facts and figures from here to space
I can dig up any book it's not that hard
But I can dig up anything right here with library card
Can you dig it
Tell me can you dig it

Working in a Coal Mine

Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Five o'clock in the mornin'
I'm all ready up and gone
Lord I am so tired
How long can this go on?

I'm workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down

Cos I'm on call in the mornin'
Oh I go by the coal
But when Saturday goes around
I'm too tired for havin' fun (Too tired for having fun)

I been workin'in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down

Lord I am so tired
How long can this go on?

I'm workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down
Workin' in a coal mine
Goin' down down down
Workin' in a coal mine
Whop! about to slip down




Alien Worm Invasion

Alien worm invasion!
Alien worm invasion!
Right here in our nation, there's an
Alien worm invasion...no kidding...

This is not a science fiction tale
Of a fable like Johnna and the whale
It's happening right in our back yard
Look out, they're tunneling deeper
Without a permit card! 

Alien worm invasion!
Alien worm invasion!
Right here in our nation, there's an
Alien worm invasion...no kidding...

Did you know there are no native worms
To some North America Midwest zones
Like Minnesota and Wisconsin too
Long ago the glaciers killed them off
And now they're coming after you!

Alien worm invasion!
Alien worm invasion!
Right here in our nation, there's an
Alien worm invasion...no kidding...

Hitching rides with the early settlers
They became destructive Midwest meddlers 
Yes, they're good for gardens and fertilize stuff
But they soon creep into hardwood forests 
And eat all the delicate duff!

A word of warning to the fishermen in the Land of a Thousand Lakes
Don't dump your worms on the ground, please stop for heavens sake
Just like the dandelions, Asian carp and many more
There are alien invaders knocking at our door

Alien worm invasion!
Alien worm invasion!
Right here in our nation, there's an
Alien worm invasion...
No kidding...
I'm really serious...
Look it up...
Google it...
Ask a librarian...
Read all about it...
While you still can...
The invaders are digging deep...
While you sleep...




I Want to Be a Paleontologist

I want to be a Paleontologist
Looking back in time again and again
I want to be a Paleontologist
So I can dig up all my friends from
Jurassic, Triassic, Cretaceous too
With a shovel and a brush searching for clues
I want to be a Paleontologist
It's the career that I want to pursue, how about you?

Its been called historical science
A mix of many interesting fields
Archeology, biology, geology
Who knows the answers that it might yield 

Look up the word paleontology 
Open up the dictionary tonight
definition is the study of fossils 
And evolution of prehistoric life

established in the 1800's
But people thought about it before
But even now we have so many questions
Like what killed off the dinosaurs?

Underground Infrastructure


Buried below our feet
Under houses, streets and signs
There's a special network
Not talking bout the Internet kind

Most people don't think about it
But they use it every day
Every time  they wash their hands 
Or communicate in any way

Underground infrastructure
Infrastructure underground
Underground infrastructure
Infrastructure underground

Infrastructure is a way to say
Heres our basic framework
The foundation of utilities  
And other public networks

Tunnels pipelines, underground structures
Just to mane a few
Sewage, gas, electricity
Transportation and telephone too





Joel the Mole



This is a song about Joel 
Joel is a mole
If he was a miner
He'd be Joel the mining mole
He'd be Joel the mining mole
He'd be Joel the mining mole
If he was a miner
He'd be Joel the mining mole

If Joel played the guitar
He would play with soul
Everyone would tell the tale of 
Joel the mole with soul
Joel the mole with soul
Joel the mole with soul
Everyone would tell the tale of
Joel the mole with soul

Joel lives in my back yard
In a deep deep hole
Traveling underground
In Joel mole-made holes
In Joel mole-made holes
In Joel mole-made holes
Traveling underground
In Joel mole-made holes

In case you didn't understand
Joel is a mole
Not a bunny or muskrat
He's just Joel the mole
He's just Joel the mole
He's just Joel the mole
Not a bunny or muskrat
He's just Joel the mole

What is an Aquifer?




What is an aquifer?

Aquifer, aquifer

What is an aquifer?
Aquifer for?

What is an aquifer?
Aquifer, Aquifer

What is an aquifer?
Can you tell me a little bit more?



An aquifer is an area underground
Holding water and gas between rock and sand
Its kinda like an underground lake or an underground stream
Do you understand? Do you know what I mean?

An aquifer is made of permeable material
Meaning that liquids and gas pass right through
Sedimentary rocks like gravel and sandstone
Are water bearing rocks its true

An aquifer fills up with rain or snow
That drains deep into the ground
Ground water reservoir can flow into springs
Or be dug into wells when they are found







Just Dig in


Whatever you do, dig in
Give it all you've got, with vigor and vim
Don't mess around, and do it half-way
So whatever you do, dig in every day

When you're doing your chores at home, dig in
When you're doing your work at school, dig in
When you're working as part of a team, dig in
And even when when nobody's watching, dig in

When you're working on a project, dig in
When you're studying for a test, dig in
When you start to read a book, dig in
And when you're practicing your instrument, dig in




Furry Fuzzy Weatherman





I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman one day a year
I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman everyone wants to hear
The I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman they want to know
If the I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman will see his shadow
Or no…

In the Puxatony way, the crowd was here to stay
Until Phil let 'em know what was to be
Would it be an early spring, or a longer winter thing
Then he took a step outside for all to see

I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman one day a year
I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman everyone wants to hear
The I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman they want to know
If the I'm the furry fuzzy weatherman will see his shadow
Or no…

What kind of forecast will he bring today?
Asked the furry fuzzy weatherman on Groundhog Day
What kind of forecast will he bring this way?
Asked the furry fuzzy weatherman on Groundhog Day
