(sung)
quick, before the hyena come
Diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
when you're done, you dig a bigger tunnel
diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
quick, before the hyena come
dig
Diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
you could dig and never get done
diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
(spoken) what was that?
(sung) quick, before the hyena come
dig
Diggah tunnah is what we do
life's a tunnel, we'll dig it, too
diggah tunnah is what we sing
diggah tunnah is everything
Mud and clay is a meerkat's friend
always more around every bend
and when you get to your tunnel's end
hallelujah, let's dig again
dig
Diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
when it's done you dig a bigger tunnel
diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
(spoken) what was that?
quick, before the hyena come
dig!
(reprise)
diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
never gonna dig another tunnel
diggah tunnah
dig, diggah tunnah
never gonna hyena come
Sing the praises of great timon
the greatest meerkat we've ever known
never dreamed he'd help simba shine
proved it's cool to hang out with swine
Accidentally saved the day
planned it so it would look that way
and brought us out of the dirt and sand
brought his family to the promised land
Sing the praises of great timon
greatest meerkat we've ever known
