DIG FOR VICTORY SONG

Dig! Dig! Dig! And your muscles will grow big

Just keep on pushing the spade

Don't mind the worms,

Just ignore their squirms

No green grocer's been paid.

When your old back aches, just laugh with glee

Put veggies in the pot for YOU and ME

And keep on diggin'

Keep diggin'

Till we give our foes a 'Wiggin'

And keep on diggin

Keep diggin'

Till we give our foes a 'Wiggin'

 

Dig! Dig! Dig for VICTORY

Dig! Dig! Dig for VICTORY

Dig! Dig! Dig for VICTORY

VICTORY (voluntary trumpet!)

March and salute to final bars.
