Hole In The Ground

(Mike McCornack)

Dug a hole in the ground,
Dug a hole in the ground,
Dug a hole in the ground, gonna plant me some tomatoes,
Carrots and some peas and maybe some potatoes,
And when I'm all through I'm give some to you.
And if you've got a garden you can give me some, too.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Put some seeds in the hole,
Put some seeds in the hole,
Put some seeds in the hole, what you need to make 'm grow
Is a little more sun and a little less snow.
In a couple of days they'll be startin' to grow
You'll have a whole lot of food where you once had a hole.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Did a little with a shovel,
Did a little with a hoe,
Did a little with my hands
Well, I hope they all grow, I hope they grow well
I done all I can, but you never can tell.

[instrumental verse]

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Comin' out of the ground,
Comin' out of the ground,
Comin' out of the ground, are some little green sprouts
With some little green leaves that are buddin' on out
And I feel like a grin and I let out a shout
'Cause this is what my hole in the ground was all about.

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
