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.
