The Mole People
Michael Feinstein · Other Songs - Michael Feinstein
And he dug through mud and he dug through stones
And he dug cleared down to the great unknown
And what you suppose he found, running all around
The mole people, they lived in a hole people
Deep down in the earth
They've dug the busy world of their own
Listen, you'll hear them
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
You might wonder just what do they do under
They happen to drive-in movie, TV or telephone
All they can do is
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
In the lower birth, underneath the earth
You'll see them zag and zig
They never fly, same as you and I
To get somewhere they dig, dig, dig
Mole people, they live in a hole people
They're under Mount Everest and the Okie Fanokie Swamp
They have to dig and hack, China and back
So they'll have room for romp
So they chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Under Boston mass, they're a better class
They have that Harvard block
What a mess at a Bronx address
A subway train came through the wall
Mole people, they live in a hole people
They're under Mount Everest and the Okie Fanokie Swamp
They have to dig and hack to China in fact
So they'll have room to romp
So they chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
