WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?

(SUNG BY THE YAWN BOYS AND LAZY SUZY)

ALL THE DAY WE LAY AROUND IN BED

JUST A BUNCH OF FULL TIME SLEEPYHEADS

AS HARD AS WE TRY TO OPEN UP OUR EYES

IT'S SO MUCH EASIER TO YAWN AND TAKE A NAP INSTEAD

IF ONLY THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD USE

TO HELP US UNDO OUR DAILY SNOOZE

THERE'S A KID WE KNOW WHO'S ALWAYS ON THE GO

HE'S EATIN' SOIL, MAYBE THAT BOY'LL

SHARE, LET'S ASK HIM - YO

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT? (HEY PURPLE BURT)

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT? (WHAT DIRT? THAT DIRT)

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?            

BURT . . .

YOU STAY ALERT BY EATING DIRT

IT'S ON YOUR SHIRT, WE SEE IT

SO BE A BUD, SHOW US THE MUD

CAN'T YOU AFFORD A WEE BIT?

ONE DAY ONE OF US WILL STAY AWAKE

TO TRACK DOWN THE SOUND THAT SHOVEL MAKES

'CAUSE WHILE WE'RE ASLEEP SOMEONE'S DIGGING DEEP

IF THERE'S ENOUGH OF THAT SPECIAL STUFF

PLEASE HELP OUT YOUR PEEPS

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT? (HEY PURPLE BURT)

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT? (WHAT DIRT? THAT DIRT)

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?

WHERE'D YA GET THAT DIRT?
