Mine Mine Mine lyrics

Ratcliffe: The gold of Cortés, the jewels of Pizarro

Will seem like mere trinkets by this time tomorrow

The gold we find here will dwarf them by far

Oh, with all you got in ya, boys

Dig up Virginia, boys

Mine, boys, mine every mountain

And dig, boys, dig till ya drop

Grab a pick, boys, quick, boys

Shove in a shovel, uncover those lovely

Pebbles that sparkle and shine

It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine

English settlers: Dig and dig and dig and diggety

Dig and dig and dig and diggety

Ratcliffe: Oh, how I love it!

Riches for cheap!

There'll be heaps of it

And I'll be on top of the heap!

My rivals back home, it's not that I'm bitter

But think how they'll squirm when they see how I glitter

The ladies at court will be all a-twitter

The king will reward me, he'll knight me

No! Lord me!

It's mine, mine, mine for the taking

It's mine, boys, mine me that gold!

With those nuggets dug, it's

Glory they'll give me

My dear friend, King Jimmy

Will probably build me a shrine

When all of the gold is mine

English settlers: Dig and dig and dig and diggety

Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!

John Smith: All of my life, I have searched for a land like this one

A wilder or more challenging country I couldn't design

Hundreds of dangers await and I don't plan to miss one

In a land I can claim, a land I can tame

The greatest adventure is mine!

Ratcliffe: Keep on working, lads, don't be shirking, lads

English settlers: Find a mother lode, then find another load!

John Smith: Mine!

Ratcliffe: Mine, boys, mine, mine me that gold

English settlers: Dig and dig and dig and diggety

Ratcliffe: Beautiful gold

English settlers: Dig for that gold

Ratcliff & settlers: Make this island my land

Ratcliffe: Make the mounds big, boys, I'd help you to dig, boys

But I've got this crick in me spine

John Smith: This land we behold

Ratcliffe: This beauty untold

John Smith: A man can be bold!

Ratcliffe: It all can be sold!

English settlers: So go for the gold

Ratcliffe: And the gold

English settlers: We know which is here

Ratcliffe: Is mine

English settlers: All the riches here, from this minute

Ratcliffe: Mine

English settlers: This land and what's in it is

Ratcliffe: Mine
