Patient Zero Ver.[]
(Lewis): I feel like we need a song to sing while we uh... Do you have any ideas?
(Simon ): It needs to be something funny and sort of light hearted. Uh...
(Chorus)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy, diggy hole, I'm digging a hole. (x2)
Dwarf Hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole. (x2)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy, diggy hole, I'm digging a hole. (x2)
Dwarf Hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole. (x2)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole, diggy, diggy hole, I'm digging a hole. (x2)
I am a, I am a, I am a dwarf. I am a, I am a diggy diggy hole. (x2)
(Interlude)
(L): (Snorts) Oh my goodness me.
(S): It's so ridiculous! (Laughter) Oh my god. (Laughter)
Dwarf Hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole, dig, diggy hole. (x6)
(Simon): DIGGY, DIGGY HOLE. (Laughter)

(Verse 1)
Brothers of the mine rejoice!
(Swing, swing, swing with me!)
Raise your pick and raise your voice!
(Sing, sing, sing with me!)
Down and down into the deep
Who knows what we'll find beneath?
Diamonds, rubies, gold, and more,
Hidden in the mountain store
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Born underground,
Suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark,
The safety of our mountain home,
Skin made of iron,
Steel in our bones,
To dig and dig makes us free,
Come on, brothers, sing with me!
(Chorus)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
(Verse 2)
The sunlight will not reach this low
(Deep, deep in the mine)
Never seen the blue moon glow
(Dwarves won't fly so high)
Fill a glass and down some mead!
Stuff your bellies at the feast!
Stumble home and fall asleep
Dreaming in our mountain keep
(Pre-Chorus 2)
Born underground,
Grown inside a rocky womb
The Earth is our cradle;
The mountain shall become our tomb
Face us on the battlefield;
You will meet your doom
We do not fear what lies beneath,
We can never dig too deep
(Chorus)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
--(Instrumental Break)--
(Pre-Chorus 1)
Born underground,
Suckled from a teat of stone
Raised in the dark,
The safety of our mountain home
Skin made of iron,
Steel in our bones
To dig and dig makes us free
Come on, brothers, sing with me!
(Chorus)
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, diggy diggy hole
I am a dwarf and I'm digging a hole
Diggy diggy hole, digging a hole
