I'm gonna' dig me a hole that will run straight into ground
I'm gonna' dig me a hole that's deeper than Chinatown
And while everybody's movin' up, I'll be movin' down
I'm gonna' take everybody that I call my friends with me
I'm gonna' advertise on every telephone pole I see
About a place that's deeper than deeper than the deep blue see
In the underground, it's a really cool place to be
Where they never get noticed like they do on the MTV
I'm gonna' make my life a complete cool turn-around
And be a happenin' thing in a place called the underground
That's right
With my baseball cap, my red wings, and my favor-ite jean
I'll be a sight to the sight unseen - the American dream
Like that super cool cat, that really cool cat, James Dean
Well, in the underground, it's a really cool place to be
Well, where you never get noticed like they do on the MTV
I'm gonna' make my life a complete cool turn-around
And be a happenin' thing in a place called the underground
