Mine Mine Mine — David Ogden Stiers Lyrics


Soundtrack: Classic Disney

Mine Mine Mine Song 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!
Riches for Cheap!
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, mind
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 and English Settlers together]

[Ratcliffe]
Keep on working, lands
Don't be shirking, lands
Mine, boys, mind
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!
It all can be sold!

[Ratcliffe and English Settlers together]

[Ratcliffe]
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!
[Ratcliffe]
Dig and dig and diggety-dig!
Hey nonny nonny nonny it's mine!

Background and Context.
"Mine Mine Mine" is a song from Disney's "Pocahontas," a film that explores the meetting of Native American cultures and English settlers. Sung by Governor Ratcliffe and the English settlers, it highlights the greed and obsession with wealth that drove much of the colonization efforts in the New World. This song contrasts with the themes of respect for nature and harmony found elsewhere in the movie, showcasing the settlers' determination to exploit the land's resources.

Main Message and Theme.
The song serves as a critique of the destructive nature of greed and the cokonial mindset. It juxtaposes the settlers' relentless pursuit of gold and wealth against the backdrop of a land they see purely as a resource to be mined and owned. This reflects broader themes of exploitation and environmental disregard, relevant both to the historical context of the film and contemporary discussions about resource use and conservation.

Analysis: Greed and Exploitation.
The lyrics "Mine, boys, mine every mountain, And dig, boys, dig 'til ya drop" emphasize the settlers' relentless greed and their view of the new world as merely a source of wealth to be exploited. This attitude mirrors historical attitudes towards colonization and the exploitation of natural resources without regard for the land or its original inhabitants.

Analysis: Contrast with Native Values.
The song starkly contrasts with the values of the Native American characters in "Pocahontas," who view the land as sacred and alive. This dichotomy serves to highlight the moral of the story - that respect and love for the earth and all its creatures are paramount, a message that is sadly lost on Ratcliffe and his men.

Analysis: Historical Commentary.
By including this song, "Pocahontas" offers commentary on the historical consequences of colonization and the greed that often drove it. The mention of "The gold of Cortes, The jewels of Pizarro" places the English settlers' actions within a larger pattern of conquest and exploitation that has long-lasting effects on the world.
