   The song is about a dispute between a workman digging a hole and an officious busybody wearing a bowler hat. This exemplifies British class conflict of the era and Cribbins switches between a working class Cockney accent, in which he drops his aitches, and a middle class accent for the gentleman in the bowler hat.

   What does it mean to dig a hole in the ground?

   • When you dig a hole in the ground and feel the crumbly soil between your fingers, you’re participating in a ritual that has been taking place since the dawn of humankind. If you close your eyes, you can even imagine your ancestors doing the same thing. There is something so very deep and primal about humankind’s connection to the earth.
