“Mine Mine Mine” by Mel Gibson, David Ogden Stiers, and Disney Studio Chorus from Pocahontas

[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

[Ratliffe]
Riches for Cheap!

[Wiggins]
Hey nonny nonny
Ho nonny nonny

[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
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…

It’s glory they’ll gimme
My dear friend, King Jimmy
Will probably build me a shrine

[Ratcliffe and Wiggins]
When all of the gold…

[Ratcliffe]
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/English Settlers]
Keep on working, lands/Mine
Don’t be shirking, lands/Find a mother lode
Mine, boys, mind/Then find another load!
Mine me that gold/Dig! Dig! and diggety
Beautiful gold/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!

[Ratcliffe/English Settlers ]

And the gold
Is …/So go for the gold
Mine!/We know which is here
Mine!/All the riches here
Mine!/From this minute
Mine!/This land and what’s in it is
Mine!

[Ratcliffe, Wiggins, and English Settlers]
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it’s mine!

In celebration of National Peanut Day!

“Found a Peanut” by Various

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

Cracked it open, cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now,
Just now I cracked it open,
Cracked it open just now.

It was rotten, it was rotten,
It was rotten just now,
Just now it was rotten,
It was rotten just now.

Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now,
Just now I ate it anyway,
Ate it anyway just now.

Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now,
Just now I got a stomach ache,
Got a stomach ache just now.

Called the doctor, called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now,
Just now I called the doctor,
Called the doctor just now.

Penicillin, Penicillin,
Penicillin just now,
Just now I took Penicillin,
Penicillin just now.

Operation, operation,
Operation just now,
Just now an operation,
An operation just now.

Died anyway, died anyway,
Died anyway just now,
Just now I died anyway,
Died anyway just now.

Went to heaven, went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now,
Just now I went to heaven,
Went to heaven just now.

Wouldn’t take me, wouldn’t take me,
Wouldn’t take me just now,
Just now Heaven wouldn’t take me,
Wouldn’t take me just now.

Went the other way, went the other way,
Went the other way just now,
Just now I went the other way,
Went the other way just now.

Didn’t want me, didn’t want me,
Didn’t want me just now,
Just now they didn’t want me,
Didn’t want me just now.

Was a dream, was a dream,
Was a dream just now,
Just now it was a dream,
Was a dream, just now.

Then I woke up, then I woke up,
Then I woke up just now,
Just now I woke up,
I woke up just now.

Found a peanut, found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now,
Just now I found a peanut,
Found a peanut just now.

I’m adding a second video because this is the version I originally heard. It has some slight differences with the lyrics, but essentially the same song. Plus, you can hear a bunch of other songs I heard when I was young, because my parents actually had this audio cassette.

“Love Don’t Live Here” by Lady Antebellum

Well, this heart of mine
Has been hardened like a stone
It might take some time
To get back what is gone
But I’m movin’ on
And you don’t haunt my dreams
Like you did before
When I would curse your name
Hey

Well, I heard the news
That you were back in town
Just passin’ through
To claim your lost and found
But I’m over you
And there ain’t nothin’ that
You could say or do
To take what you did back

You’ve got nerve to waltz right in
And think what’s mine is yours again

I been doin’ fine without you
Forgettin’ all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain’t the one that slammed that door
But now you say you’ve changed your thinkin’
But I ain’t got a heart for breakin’
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore
Oh, no

Well baby, you can try
To tell me how it is
And try to justify
Everything you did
But honey, I’m no fool
And I been down this road
Too many times with you
I think it’s best you go

Well, I got one thing left to say
Is you can lay in the bed you’ve made

I been doin’ fine without you
Forgettin’ all the love we once knew
And girl, I ain’t the one that slammed that door
But now you say you’ve changed your thinkin’
But I ain’t got a heart for breakin’
So go and pick your bags up off my floor
‘Cause love don’t live here anymore
No, no
Love don’t live here anymore
Oh no, oh no

Well you don’t live here anymore
Oh you don’t live here anymore
Oh no

“Push” by Matchbox Twenty

She said “I don’t know if I’ve ever been good enough
I’m a little bit rusty, and I think my head is caving in
And I don’t know if I’ve ever been really loved
By a hand that’s touched me, and I feel like something’s gonna give
And I’m a little bit angry”

Well, this ain’t over
No not here, not while I still need you around
You don’t owe me, we might change
Yeah we just might feel good

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, well I will

She said “I don’t know why you ever would lie to me
Like I’m a little untrusting when I think that the truth is gonna hurt ya
And I don’t know why you couldn’t just stay with me
You couldn’t stand to be near me when my face don’t seem to want to shine
‘Cause it’s a little bit dirty”

Well, don’t just stand there
Say nice things to me
‘Cause I’ve been cheated, I’ve been wronged
And you, you don’t know me
I can’t change, I won’t do anything at all

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, well I will

Oh, but don’t bowl me over
Just wait a minute, well I kinda fell apart
Things get so crazy, crazy
Don’t rush this baby
Don’t rush this baby, baby, baby

I wanna push you around
Well I will, well I will
I wanna push you down
Well I will, well I will
I wanna take you for granted
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I wanna take you, take you
Yeah, well I will, I will, I will, I will, yeah
Well I will, I will, I will, yeah
Push you around
And drag you down
I wanna push you around
Well I will

“Colors of the Wind” by Vanessa Williams from Pocahontas

You think I’m an ignorant savage
And you’ve been so many places
I guess it must be so
But still I cannot see
If the savage one is me
How can there be so much that you don’t know
You don’t know

You think you own whatever land you land on
The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
But I know every rock and tree and creature
Has a life, has a spirit, has a name

You think the only people who are people
Are the people who look and think like you
But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
You’ll learn things you never knew you never knew

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned?
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind?

Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
Come roll in all the riches all around you
And for once, never wonder what they’re worth
The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
The heron and the otter are my friends
And we are all connected to each other,
In a circle, in a hoop that never ends

Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain?
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

How high does the sycamore grow?
If you cut it down, then you’ll never know

And you’ll never hear the wolf cry to the blue corn moon
For whether we are white or copper-skinned
We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
Need to paint with all the colors of the wind
You can own the earth and still
All you’ll own is earth until
You can paint with all the colors of the wind
