Diggy Diggy Hole (Song)

"Diggy Diggy Hole" is a song by Simon Lane (Honeydew) which was first sung in an episode of "Shadow of Israphel", Part 8: Diggy Diggy Hole. While assisting Verigan Antioch II and Skylord Lysander find Old Peculier's father's note around Ye Olde Watche Towere, Lewis decided they should sing a suitable song while they dig. Simon agreed and stated it should be "funny" and "light-hearted".



Simon then improvised this now famous piece. Simon is still proud of his Dwarven singing charm, and has even used it during a meeting at Yogscast Headquarters.

In SoI episode 32, Simon discovers that "Diggy Diggy Hole" is banned in Stoneholm (which is ironic, as Stoneholm is the city of the dwarves). This is most likely because Israphel, through King Finbar, was trying to get rid of support for the Heroes. Or it could have been because the song had been playing non-stop for the past few days and the residents were becoming slightly irked. It was found to be replaced by "cat" which was immediately burned by Lewis. The song also made an appearance in the game "Dwarfs!?".

A new Diggy Diggy Hole song was released on 11th of July 2014 featuring new lyrics and animation:

Lyrics
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

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

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

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] x2

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] x2
