The Irish Rovers - Pigs Can't Fly lyrics

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
