[Verse 1]
Ah, I can't let a moment pass in misery or despair
I'll dig the things I do, and I'll do just what I dare
Say, I can't hold on to the past
The future's comin' on too fast
I think I'll stop and dig it while I'm here
Yeah, why not stop and dig it while I'm here?

[Verse 2]
Yeah, nothin' here is mine to keep, so why do I hang on?
Everything that I have now will be here when I'm gone
I can't change the world too fast
They're still livin' in the past
So, I think I'll stop and dig it from now on
Yeah, why not stop and dig it from now on?

[Kazoo Solo]

[Verse 3]
I can't let you tie my up or make me play your games
But just in case you're wonderin' I love you just the same
I said nothin' here is yours to keep
A shallow grave is still too deep
To enjoy the things that you once held so dear
So why not stop and dig it while you're here?
Yeah, why not stop and dig it while you're here?
