about

Hammered out a surprisingly consistent rhythm on my Gretsch guitar, which just had to go with something funky, sassy, rock and roll sounding lyric-wise. The sound of the motorbike passing during vocal recording was just the icing on the cake!

The lyrics tell a story of meeting a bad girl at the local swimming pool, who gets herself into a sticky situation with a taste for hard liqueur and who knows what else.

lyrics

Well Dig It

Well, dig it baby
You know you drive me crazy
C’mon and meet me lately
By the lido

Well, shift it baby
You look so sexy lady
C’mon and drip drip down
In your swimming clothes

You know you wanna throw that world shape
You know you wanna crush that red grape
You know you want to wrap me up in sticky tape
And send me packing through the mail now

Well, hit it baby
Three strikes and you’re out, baby
Well hit it, baby
I see you walking
Where the players go

Well, don’t you quit it, baby
First time’s a hit, baby
You’ll end up losing
What you came for

Go dig that well, baby
I hear it's hot in hell, baby
You might as well
C'mon and give me that hard sell

Well dig it, baby
Get out your shovel, baby
Did the earth move for you?

Well dig it, baby
Let me help you out, baby
Til the water flows just for you

You know you wanna throw that world shape
You know you wanna crush that red grape
You know you want to wrap me up in sticky tape
And get me sticking to your nail now

Go dig that well, baby
I hear it's hot in hell, baby
You might as well
C'mon and give me that hard sell

Go dig that well, baby
I hear it's hot in hell, baby
You might as well
C'mon and give me that hard sell

You know you wanna throw that world shape
You wanna crush that red grape
You wanna wrap me up in sticky tape
Alright!

Get out your shovel, baby
I'm asking you
Did the earth move for you?

Well dig it, baby
Let me help you out, baby
Til the water flows just for you

Woo! Yeah
