Mine, Mine, Mine

Mine, Mine, Mine is song featured in Disney's Pocahontas, its song by Ratcliffe and John Smith.

Lyrics
Ratcliffe: The gold of Cortes The jewels of Pizarro Will seem like mere trinkets By this time tomorrow The gold we find here Will dwarf them by far Oh, with all ya got in ya, boys Dig up Virginia, boys

Mine, boys, mine ev'ry mountain And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop Grab a pick, boys Quick, boys Shove in a shovel Uncover those lovely Pebbles that sparkle and shine It's gold and it's mine, mine, mine

English Settlers Dig and dig and dig and diggety... Dig and dig and dig and diggety...

Wiggins: Hey nonny nonny Ho nonny nonny

Ratcliffe: Oh, how I love it!

Wiggins: Hey nonny nonny Ho nonny nonny

Ratcliffe: Riches for Cheap!

Wiggins: Hey nonny nonny Ho nonny nonny There'll be heaps of it ...

Ratcliffe: And I'll be on top of the heap!

My rivals back home It's not that I'm bitter But think how they'll squirm When they see how I glitter! The ladies at court Will be all a-twitter The king will reward me He'll knight me ... no, lord me!

It's mine, mine, mine For the taking It's mine, boys Mine me that gold! With those nuggets dug...

It's glory they'll gimme My dear friend, King Jimmy Will probably build me a shrine When all of the gold is mine

English Settlers: Dig and dig and dig and diggety Dig and dig and dig and diggety-dig!

Smith: All of my life, I have searched for a land Like this one A wilder, more challenging country I couldn't design Hundreds of dangers await And I don't plan to miss one In a land I can claim A land I can tame The greatest adventure is mine!

Ratcliffe: Keep on working, lands Don't be shirking, lands Mine, boys, mine Mine me that gold Beautiful gold

English Settlers: Mine Find a mother lode Then find another load! Dig! Dig! and diggety Dig! Dig! for that gold

All: Make this island My land!

Ratcliffe: Make the mounds big, boys I'd help you to dig, boys But I've got this crick in me spine

Smith: This land we behold...

Ratcliffe: This beauty untold...

Smith: A man can be bold!

Ratcliffe: It all can be sold! And the gold Is... Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine!

English Settlers: So go for the gold We know which is here All the riches here From this minute This land and what's in it is Mine! Dig and dig and diggety-dig! Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mine!

Trivia

 * While this is a villain song, it is also a little joyous.
 * This is the second song in which an actor does two characters at once (in this case, it's David Ogden Stiers voicing both Governor Ratcliffe and Wiggins). The first song was Be Prepared.
