Diggin’ in Deep

For Heinrich Schliemann, a German banker born Jan 6, 1822 who discovered the site of Troy through analysing the geography described in The Illiad.

Schliemann was no layman
He would dig in dirt all day, man
He would never rest or play, man
Cause he had something to say, man.

Ch. We’re diggin’ in deep, diggin’ in deep
Dig it
Diggin’ in deep, diggin’ in deep
Can ya dig it?

Diggin’ deep it was his joy, man
Happy as a little boy, man
With his trowel, his favourite toy, man
Till that day that he found Troy, maaan.

CH.

He didn’t play no billiard
He didn’t make a milliard
Clever, not a silly ass,
He learnt it from the Illiad.

Schleimann was no hoi polloi
He had his plans, he had his ploys
And yet he always had no joy, man

He dug the Greeks, he dug with joy,
Dug deep till he discovered Troy
Suddenly, the Golden Boy, man

CH.

So dig in deep to what you love
Don’t give up till you’ve got enough
Believe it when you know your stuff
When doubters doubt, you call their bluff,

CH. Keep diggin’ in deep, diggin’ in deep, dig it.
Diggin’ in deep, diggin’ in deep, dig it.
