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?
