[Verse 1] On Eastern Parkway, I mind my own Bagel in hand, and a phone that moans Another headline, another scare Some guy got loud on the F train stair They say the air got meaner now Since Mamdani took the oath somehow And every crank with a podcast grin Thinks fear is where the fun begins [Pre-Chorus] Well, I’ve seen this town get rough I’ve seen the fools talk tough But worry’s just a rented coat And we’ve worn that coat before, you know [Chorus] Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig We dig our way through it Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig Brooklyn knows how to do it Mayor Mamdani, hear me now Do something, if you know how Still we laugh, still we sing Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig [Verse 2] My auntie says, “Keep your chin up, kid” My uncle says, “That’s how we always did” A little heat, a little shame We still arrive, we still say our names They mumble threats, they pound their chest But we’ve outlasted all the rest With matzo, sarcasm, and nerve We bend, we bob, we do not swerve [Pre-Chorus] So pass the plates, and pass the news Let the loudmouths wear their blues If the world turns sharp again We’ve got a thousand ways to bend [Chorus] Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig We dig our way through it Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig Brooklyn knows how to do it Mayor Mamdani, hear me now Do something, if you know how Still we laugh, still we sing Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig [Interlude] “Zoom check, one two one two What’s the agenda?” “Not today, genius.” [Spoken Interlude] “What’s the agenda?” “To outlive your nonsense.” “What’s the agenda?” “A bigger table.” [Bridge] And if the room gets loud and strange If the names all start to change I’ll bring my whole loud neighborhood We turn the worry into good We don’t need kings, we don’t need crowns We’ve buried plenty of bad news clowns One shovel, two hearts, three jokes to spare We’re still right here, we’re still there [Final Chorus] Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig We dig our way through it Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig Brooklyn knows how to do it Mayor Mamdani, hear me now Do something, if you know how Still we laugh, still we sing Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig [Outro] Dig, dig, dig No panic, just grit Dig, dig, dig We’ve been through worse than this Dig, dig, dig And we’re still standing, kid Dig, dig, dig
