I Can’t Dig This Hole
by Quintin Hollomand, grade 8
Parody of “Can’t Feel My Face” by The Weeknd
And I know he’ll be the death of me if I don’t dig this hole
Mr. Sir will get so mad at me if I don’t find that gold
At least I have my friend, Zero to help me bare this heat
This I know, yeah, this I know.
I told him don’t worry about it
I’ll teach you to read and to write
If we put our heads together
We can find that hidden tre-e-easure.
I can’t dig this hole in this dry heat,
And I hate it, and I hate it, oh
I can’t dig this hole in this dry heat,
And I hate it, and I hate it.
