There's something going on with the boys down at the mine
Instead of doin' that diggin' they been whoopin' way the time
The boss man hears the rumble and tries to whip 'em back in line
But all he gets is thunder down under instead of overtime
Blast, blast, blast it's a minecat boogie
Diggin' that diggin' that diggin' that diggin' that that minecat boogie
Schwartz spelled with a 'c' he keeps his head on with his hat
And even blue-blooded Vogel can't find nothing wrong with that
Jesse and Jake been planning a break, "We've got to find another way
It's so hard this living for weekends just to see the light of day"
Blast, blast, blast it's a minecat boogie
Diggin' that Diggin' that Diggin' that Diggin' that that minecat boogie
Blast, blast, blast it's a minecat boogie
Diggin' that Diggin' that Diggin' that Diggin' that that
4 am came dark and dirty and 14 were still trapped down under
All you could hear 'tween the prayers and the whispers was thunder
Down under, thunder down under, thunder down under
