I once had a pig that loved me.
He lived in a shed in the country.
In a middle class district of Dunfries.
But a sad kind of pig was he.
Pigs can't swim and pigs can't fly
But Pigs can see the wind go by.
Pigs make lovely household friends.
When winter comes then summer ends.
Each week that lofty beasty -
Would beg with eyes so misty.
To take him over to England.
His life's dream to fulfill.
He wants to plunge into the channel
Swim to France would be his gamble
Florence Chadwick couldn't hold a candle
To such a daring pig as he.
(This verse sung in pigs perspective - silly falsetto)
So then I came up to him askin'
will our friendship not be lastin'
and he told me I was graspin'
and he needed to be free!
So will you take me there tomorrow
In a pigs eye I said with sorrow
So he drown himself in the bath tub (Naughty Boy)
And I had pork chops with my tea!
Early in the morning
so early in the morning
so early in the morning
before the break of day
