DIG IT UP!

(John Redgate)
Written in LA, early ’80’s. Had to dig up $150 rent each month. Began a long stint on keyboards at The Comedy Store around this time. Low bucks but lotsa yuks!



Diamonds will dazzle, silver will shine
Genuine gold always glitters
But no other treasure you’re likely to find
Will sparkle as brightly as love

If you have buried your love, dig it up now
You’ve been hiding the one thing we need
Come on, take out your heart, we’ll shake out the dust
If you have buried your love, dig it up!

Now maybe your heart has been stolen before
You thought you would never recover
You boarded your windows, bolted your door
And tried to get by on your own

You have buried your love, dig it up now
You’ve been hiding the one thing we need
Come on, take out your heart, we’ll shake out the dust
If you have buried your love, dig it up!
If you have buried your love, dig it up now

You’ve been hiding the one thing we need
Take out your heart, we’ll shake out the dust
If you have buried your love, dig it up!
If you have buried your love, dig it up!!
If you have buried your love, dig it up!!!
