Digga Tunnah

"Digga Tunnah" is a song composed by Martin Erskine for The Lion King 1½.
==Use==
"Digga Tunnah" is the first song heard in The Lion King 1½. It starts as Timon shows Pumbaa his backstory of him having grown up in a meerkat colony far away from Pride Rock. The meerkats pop out of the underground tunnels to check to see if there are any hyenas around. When one of them yells "clear!", the meerkats go back underground and start digging tunnels, singing about their dangerous way of life.

Digga tunnah is what we do 
Life's a tunnah, we're diggin' through
Digga tunnah is what we sing
Digga tunnah is everything 
Mud and clay is a meerkat's friend
Always more around every bend 
And when you get to your tunnah's end 
Shout hallelujah, let's dig again! 
Dig!
Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah 
When you're done, ya digga bigger tunnah
Digga tunnah
Dig, digga tunnah
What was that?
Quick before the hyena come
