Dig Yourself (original ukulele)

i rarely write topical songs, but this one was hanging in the air and i bumped my head on it. for the folks on wall street and the automakers and anyone else who has dug their own hole (ain't we all?)

performe on my plastic playtune senior uke.

WELL, ITS HARD TO FEEL SORRY FOR A MAN
WHOS DOWN IN A HOLE WITH A SHOVEL IN HIS HAND
NOW HOWD YA GET DOWN THERE, FRIEND?
AND HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN

HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
OF THE HOLE YA DUG YOURSELF IN?
YA GOTTA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN

NOW THE SIGN BY THE ROAD WAS CLEAR
WHATEVER YA DO BUDDY DONT DIG HERE
BUT YOUR HAND JUST WOULDNT BE STAYED
YOU JUMPED RIGHT IN WITH YOUR PICK AND YOUR SPADE

HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
OF THE HOLE YA DUG YOURSELF IN?
YA GOTTA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN

NOW YOURE DOWN AT THE BOTTOM OF A HOLE
BUT YOU AINT A MINER AND THERE AINT NO COAL
AND THE DOGGONE PITY OF IT ALL
WE KNOW YOU WASNT PUSHED AND WE KNOW YOU DIDNT FALL

HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN
HOW YA GONNA DIG YOURSELF, DIG YOURSELF OUT
OF THE HOLE YA DUG YOURSELF IN?
YA GOTTA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN

YA GOTTA DIG YOURSELF OUT AGAIN

you're givin me a headache!! LOL I'm all about what you're doing and the reasons for doing it... but why are all these Bailout songs missing the point of writing a political protest song- it's supposed to be an anthem. one that people will want to sing. nobody's gonna humm... how ya gonna dig yourself out again.
