The Incredible String Band - Big Ted lyrics

Big Ted's dead , he was a great old pig He'd eat most anything, never wore a wig Now he's gone like snow on the water , good bye He was getting old so the farmer said "Sold him to the butcher just to make a little bread" Now he's gone like snow on the water, don't cry Ted may be a moo cow next time around Giving sweet milk to the people in the town He'll be whatever he will choose on air or sea or ground The sows are busy with the piglets fine I'd put them in the forest now if they were mine cause I know they like acorns and I don't like bacon Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy Sham sham sharoo, oh sham sham sharoo Big Ted's sold and gone He never cared to do the boogaloo dance All he ever thought about was food and romance Now he's gone like snow on the water, good bye The sows are busy with the piglets fine I'd put them in the forest now if they were mine cause I know they like acorns and I don't like bacon Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy Sham sham sharoo, oh sham sham sharoo Big Ted's sold and gone
