Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yes you can! Stop that
Oh I really can't
Oh yes you can come on right left, right left
Just give it a try
Really you can teach me
Oh yeah
You got the legs for it
Oh it seems to you
I said it seems to me
You said it seems to you
A such embarrassing situation calls for concentration
Do you dig me jack
We dig you jack
Can we think of a plan
We ?
Can we sing and dance
I'll take a chance
Are you boots alright
? tight
Is miss Miller a killer
From a spanish villa
?
Then it seems to me
Obviously
You wanna go right into your ?
I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga
But if you say do the conga
I ain't hep to that step
But I'll dig it
I never could see mazurkas
They're poison to me, mazurkas
But if it's to be mazurkas
I ain't hep to that step
But I'll dig it
When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
Right
But say if you want to Charleston
I'll never stop
I'll dance till I drop
I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain't hep to that step
But I'll dig it
Alright
Oh there you go, there you go down
You can dance sugar
That's not so hard
What was that dance called
I never could do the conga
Could never get through the conga
But if you say do the conga
I ain't hep to that step
But I'll dig it
I never could see mazurkas
They're poison to me, mazurkas
But if it's to be mazurkas
I ain't hep to that step
But I'll dig it
When they invented the Charleston
I was a total flop
But say if you want to Charleston
She'll never stop
She'll dance till I drop
I never could dig the polka
The corniest jig, the polka
But if you say dig the polka
I ain't hep to that step
She ain't hep to that step
I ain't hep to that step
She ain't hep to that step
She ain't hep to that step
McKay Nellie's song Dig It is an upbeat and lively tune that captures the essence of the dance scene of the 1960s. The lyrics highlight a hesitant dancer who is encouraged to try different dance steps by their partner. The song starts with the hesitant dancer admitting that they can't dance, but their partner insists that they can and encourages them to try. The lyrics then proceed to discuss various dance forms such as the conga, mazurkas, Charleston, and polka, which the hesitant dancer confesses to not knowing.
The partner encourages the dancer to try each of the dance forms and assures them that they have the legs for it. There is an air of excitement in the lyrics as the partners try different steps and dance moves. The song ends on a positive note as the hesitant dancer becomes more confident in their dance abilities.
The overall theme of the song is encouraging people to try new things and to step out of their comfort zones. It is also a celebration of dance and the joy it brings into people's lives.
