MINE MINE MINE
"Pocahontas"
Music: Alan Menken
Lyrics: Stephen Schwartz
Vocals: Ratcliffe (David Ogden Stiers), John Smith
(Mel Gibson) and Chorus

(Ratcliffe)
The gold of Cortés, the jewels of Pizarro
Will seem like mere trinkets by this time tomorrow
The gold we find here will dwarf them by far
Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys
Dig up Virginia, boys

Mine, boys, mine ev'ry mountain
And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop
Grab a pick, boys
Quick, boys, shove in a shovel
Uncover those lovely pebbles that sparkle and shine
It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine

(English Settlers)
Dig and dig and dig and diggety ...
Dig and dig and dig and diggety ...

(Wiggins)
Hey nonny nonny... Ho nonny nonny...

(Ratcliffe)
Oh, how I love it! Riches for Cheap!

(Wiggins)
There'll be heaps of it...

(Ratcliffe)
And I'll be on top of the heap!

My rivals back home, it's not that I'm bitter
But think how they'll squirm when they see how I glitter!
The ladies at court will be all a-twitter
The king will reward me
He'll knight me... no, lord me!

It's mine, mine, mine for the taking
It's mine, boys
Mine me that gold!
With those nuggets dug ...

It's glory they'll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine
When all of the gold is mine

(English Settlers)
Dig and dig and dig and diggety
Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!

(Smith)
All of my life, I have searched for a land like this one
A wilder, more challenging country I couldn't design
Hundreds of dangers await and I don't plan to miss one
In a land I can claim, a land I can tame
The greatest adventure is mine!

[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together]

(Ratcliffe)
Keep on working
Lands, don't be shirking, lands
Mine, boys, mine
Mine me that gold, beautiful gold

(English Settlers)
Mine, find a mother lode
Then find another load!
Dig! Dig! and diggety
Dig! Dig! for that gold
All! Make this island my land!

(Ratcliffe)
Make the mounds big, boys
I'd help you to dig, boys
But I've got this crick in me spine

(Smith)
This land we behold...

(Ratcliffe)
This beauty untold...

(Smith)
A man can be bold! It all can be sold!

[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together]

(Ratcliffe)
And the gold is...
Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

(English Settlers)
So go for the gold we know which is here
All the riches here
From this minute, this land and what's in it is mine!

(Ratcliffe)
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny... it's mine!
