Everywhere there’s lots of piggies Living piggy lives You can see them out for dinner With their piggy wives Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon. ---

Christ you know it ain’t easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They’re going to crucify me. Saving up your money for a rainy day, Giving all your clothes to charity. Last night the wife said, “Oh boy, when you’re dead You don’t take nothing with you But your soul - think!” Made a lightning trip to Vienna, eating chocolate cake in a bag. The newspapers said, “She’s gone to his head, They look just like two gurus in drag”. Christ you know it ain’t easy, You know how hard it can be. The way things are going They’re going to crucify me. ---
