Dig a Little Deeper

"Dig a Little Deeper" is a song sung by Mama Odie with a group of roseate spoonbills chorus featured in the 2009 film The Princess and the Frog.

Lyrics
Mama Odie: Don't matter what you look like Don't matter what you wear How many rings you got on your finger We don't care

Choir: (No we don't care)

Mama Odie: Don't matter where you come from Don't even matter what you are A dog, a pig, a cow, a goat Had em' all in here

Choir: (We had em' all in here)

Mama Odie: And they all knew what they wanted What they wanted me to do I told them what they needed Just like I be telling you

You gotta dig a little deeper Find out who you are You gotta dig a little deeper It really ain't that far

When you found out who you are You find out what you need Blue skies and sunshine Guaranteed You gotta dig

Choir: (Dig)

Mama Odie: You gotta dig

Choir: (Dig)

Mama Odie: Prince Froggy is a rich little boy You wanna be rich again? That ain't gonna make you happy now Did it make you happy then? No!

Money ain't got no soul Money ain't got no heart All you need is some self-control Make yourself a brand new start

You gotta dig a little deeper Don't have far to go You gotta dig a little deeper Tell the people Mama told you so

Can't tell you what you'll find Maybe love will grant you peace of mind Dig a little deeper and you'll know

Miss Froggy?

Tiana: Ma'am.

Mama Odie: Might I have a word?

Tiana: Yes, ma'am.

Mama Odie: You's a hard one, that's what I heard Your daddy was a lovin' man Family through and through You your daddy's daughter What he had in him you got in you

You gotta dig a little deeper For you it's gonna be tough You gotta dig a little deeper You ain't dug far enough

Dig down deep inside yourself You'll found out what you need Blue skies and sunshine guaranteed Open up the windows Let in the light, children

Choir: (Blue skies and sunshine) (Blue skies and sunshine)

Tiana: Blue skies and sunshine

Mama Odie: Guaranteed

Choir: (Ahhh...)
