This is a story about a guy
Gettin' ready to rob another guy
If I had a nickel for every dime you had
I'd have half your money, you talk about "not half-bad"
More like ten times as good
I don't know anyone that wouldn't wanna hold on to all they had if they could
If you could just come off a little bit of money though
That would surely do me good
I'm in between jobs
Can you dig it?
I knew that you could
Oh, Lord, can you dig it?
I was hopin' you would
Oh, Lord, there's only one way to win this shell game
Be the one that gets the other guy to play
You think I'm not very bright, and you might be right
I might've been born yesterday, but I was up all night
I might have come in here a little burn side lookin', but I still see light
It may be through cheap sunglasses, but
The sun still shines as bright down on you when you
You In between jobs
Can you dig It?
I knew that you could
Oh, mama, can you dig it?
I was hopin' that you would
Let's see
ย
I seen a hundred dollar bill one time
Blowin' up against a chain link fence
I been walkin' around outside lookin' down at fences ever since
It's the root of all evil mama, yes, I agree
And I suppose that the blossom would be my kinda poverty
I know how mad I'm gettin' just thinkin' about how much more you've got than me
And I'm thinkin', "What's keepin' me from killin' this guy
And just takin' his shit from him?"
Can you dig it?
I knew that you could
Oh, baby, can you dig it?
I was hopin' you would
Oh, mama, can you dig it?
I knew that you could
Baby, baby, can you dig it?
Hopin' that you would
