Emgee66 Posted October 2, 2013 Share Posted October 2, 2013 That narrows it down neatly: Saving....... Private Ryan: Hell, these guys deserve to go home as much as I do. They've fought just as hard.

flashback42 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 patsydahling; If you have named the site of the quote mentioned, the practice on this thread is to then give the quote itself. Note the earlier entries here. BTW, welcome to the Boards. You have already made some spot-on contributions. flashback 42 Link to post Share on other sites
patsydahling Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Very sorry. I took a stab at Gene Kelly because of Dig Dig Dig for Your Dinner. Do not have an actual quote with word "groceries." I don't want to sound like I'm preachin' a sermon, But I've heard people say: The early bird catches the worm; 'N there's a lot of good logic in that old cliche. There are certain obligations you just can't shirk, You've got to put the heat on to make the kettle perk; And if you want it to be a good day, You've got to do a good day's work. Chorus 1: You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Nothin's what you get for free. You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Never was a money tree. And furthermore, my friends, I must repeat, Nobody's livin' down on Easy Street; And if you want to owe for groceries, You're gonna get an awful lot of "No sir-ee's." You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for a dollar, 'Taint as simple as you think. You can't purloin a sirloin Or the butcher will put you in the clink. You just can't be a lazy bird, You've gotta get off o' your twig; So you can afford your room and your board, And it's nice to have the price of a "cig." Say, you've gotta pay the fiddler man If you want to do a jig. You've gotta be as busy as a bee To be a Mister B. I. G. And if you want some dig-dig-dignity, You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. Chorus 2: You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Nothin's what you get for free. You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Never was a money tree. And furthermore, my friends, I must repeat, Nobody's livin' down on Easy Street; And if you want to owe for groceries, You're gonna get an awful lot of "No sir-ee's." You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig for a dollar, 'Taint as simple as you think. You can't purloin a sirloin Or the butcher will put you in the clink. You just can't be a lazy bird, You've gotta get off o' your twig; So you can afford your room and your board, And it's nice to have the price of a "cig." Say, you've gotta pay the fiddler man If you want to do a jig. You've gotta be as busy as a bee To be a Mister B. I. G. And if you want some dig-dig-dignity, You've gotta dig, dig, dig, dig, dig for your dinner, Dig, dig, dig, dig, dig. (Spoken:) Right! I will not publish an answer without the actual quote in the future. Mea culpa Edited by: patsydahling on Oct 14, 2013 9:10 AM Link to post Share on other sites
