Diggity

DIGGITY

Presented here, for the first time in public after years of protracted litigation in the copyright infringment case, Blind Boy Grunt vs. James "No Neck" Damiano, is the lost Diggity lyric by Mr. blind boy grunt. Written when he was barely a teenager, the following song reveals the heartache and despair of a man twice blind boy's age at the time. So, sit back and enjoy and remember blind's furry little friend. (In case you were wondering, the case against Damiano has been settled for an undisclosed amount. One of the settlement terms, however, was that grunt could give Damiano a swift kick in his ass for stealing his song and send him on his way.)

Diggity

by Blind Boy Grunt

Fat dog wobblin', doin' nothin' to heel

Thin dog lookin' at his last meal

Me? Oh man, I'm searchin' every field

For diggity

Wise dog sleepin' under a tree in grass

Young dog sniffin' old dog's ass

Poor me lookin' through pet store glass

For diggity

Some puppy got put to sleep on New Year's Eve

Somebody said diggity was the next to leave

But he bit the veterinarian, who just didn't believe,

Diggity knew something was up his sleeve.

Searchin' high, searchin' low

Searchin' everywhere I know

Askin' the cops wherever I go

Have you seen diggity?

Blind man sittin', tears rollin' down face

Holdin' an empty leash, oh what a disgrace,

Searchin' and hopin' to find one trace,

Of diggity

I went to the wedding of Mary-lou

She said "I don't want nobody see me talkin' to you"

Said she could get killed if she told me what she knew

About diggity

I went down where the dog-catchers feed

I would've gone deeper, but there wasn't any need

Heard the tongues of poodles and the tongues of mutts

Wasn't any difference to me

Chilly wind bites like a crazy pit bull

House not guarded, mailman's cool

Gonna ask the mayor and the kids at school,

Have you seen diggity?

Drinkin' man listens to the barks he hears

In a dogless room full of milkbone tears

Lookin' into the lost forgotten years

For diggity

Met Princess Diana shopping for shoes

Said she'd give me information if I gave her my blues

She wanted my seven inch pumps, said she was amused

By diggity

Pawprints runnin' cross the wet cement

I sit here listening to Iris DeMent

I met the dogs of hell, one from the orient

In the pet-stores of despair

Got no dog to love, can't brush his coat

I'm on a rollin' river in a storm-tossed boat

Tryin' to read a ransom note somebody wrote

About diggity

Sick man lookin' for a million bucks

Lookin' at dollar signs to change his luck

He wants money, that heartless fuck,

For diggity

Blind man stranded without a seeing eye

Walking the subway platform, he's bound to die

He walk near walls and cries "why oh why,

Oh diggity"

Someone showed me a picture and I just laughed

Don't you know I can't decipher photographs

I went into the story, showed him my maps

Told him of my dog bone dreams

So many roads, so much at stake

So many dead ends, I'm at the edge of the lake

Sometimes I wonder what it's gonna take

To find diggity

I went down to drop the ransom, as I was told,

I stood and stood, it was getting cold

Nobody came, nobody showed

With my diggity

My search goes on, it never stops

I'll find that dog and feed him pork chops

We'll walk together, me and little Cyclops

With diggity
