Verse 1:
I once had a pig that loved me
And lived in a shed in the country
In a middle cla** district of Dumfries,
But a sad kind of pig was he.
CHORUS:
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 and summer ends.
Early in the morning
So early in the morning
So early in the morning
Before the break of day.
Verse 2:
Each week that lofty beastie
Would beg with eyes so misty
To take him over to England,
His life dreams to fulfil.
CHORUS
Verse 3:
He'd 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!
CHORUS
Verse 4:
"Are you tired of me?" I asked him;
"Will our friendship not be lastin'?"
But he told me I was graspin'
And he needed to be free
CHORUS
Verse 5:
"So will you take me there tomorrow?"
"In a pig's eye," I said with sorrow.
So he drowned himself in the bathtub (naughty boy!)
And I had pork chops for my tea.
CHORUS
