Song Lyrics

One day an archaeologist was digging underground
And he dug through mud and he dug through stones
And he dug cleared down to the great unknown
And what you suppose he found, running all around

The mole people, they lived in a hole people
Deep down in the earth
They've dug the busy world of their own
Listen, you'll hear them

Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp

You might wonder just what do they do under
They happen to drive-in movie, TV or telephone
All they can do is

Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp

In the lower birth, underneath the earth
You'll see them zag and zig
They never fly, same as you and I
To get somewhere they dig, dig, dig

Mole people, they live in a hole people
They're under Mount Everest and the Okie Fanokie Swamp
They have to dig and hack, China and back
So they'll have room for romp

So they chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp

Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp

Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp

Under Boston Mass., they're a better class
They have that Harvard block
What a mess at a Bronx address
A subway train came through the wall

Mole people, they live in a hole people
They're under Mount Everest and the Okie Fanokie Swamp
They have to dig and hack to China in fact
So they'll have room to romp

So they chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp-a-didy, chomp-a-didy
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
Chomp, chomp, chomp, chomp
