When recorded by Bernard Cribbins and released by EMI on the Parlophone label in , it was a number nine hit in the UK Singles Chart. It remains the highest charting and most successful of Cribbins' hit singles, staying on the chart for 13 weeks.
The musical accompaniment was directed by Gordon Franks, and the producer was George Martin.
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.
Don't dig there, dig it elsewhere.
You're digging it round and it ought to be square.
