Oh see that lover standing  
Staring at the ground  
He went looking for the real thing  
And lies were all he found  
You can get the real thing  
It will only cost a pound  
Down where the drunkards roll  
Down where the drunkards roll

Then we sang it’s all fair weather  
When good fellers get together  
Till a lady passing by was heard to say  
“You can tell a man who boozes  
By the company he chooses”  
So the pig got up and slowly walked away

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 the bacon

There’s a pink one and a green one  
And a blue one and a yellow one  
And they’re all made out of ticky tacky  
And they all look just the same

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you’re gonna go far  
You’re gonna fly high, you’re never gonna die  
You’re gonna make it if you try, they’re gonna love you  
Well, I’ve always had a deep respect an’ I mean that most sincerely  
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think  
Oh, by the way, which one’s Pink?

I might like you better  
If we slept together  
I might like you better  
If we slept together  
I might like you better  
If we slept together  
But there’s somethin’  
In your eyes that says  
Maybe that’s never  
Never say never

Everybody needs a change  
A chance to check out the new  
But you’re the only one to see  
The changes you take yourself through

Don’t you worry 'bout a thing  
Don’t you worry 'bout a thing, pretty mama  
'Cause I’ll be standing in the wings  
When you check it out

Well, we were just another band out of Boston  
On the road to try to make ends meet  
Playin’ all the bars, sleepin’ in our cars  
And we practiced right on out in the street  
No, we didn’t have much money  
We barely made enough to survive  
But when we got up on stage and got ready to play  
People came alive

Didn’t have the money round to buy a Morry Thou  
Been around and seen a lot to shake me anyhow  
Begged and borrowed sometimes, I admit I even stole  
The worse crime that I ever did was playing rock 'n roll.

But the money’s no good  
Just get a grip on yourself  
But the money’s no good  
Just get a grip on yourself

This is it and that is it  
And this is Morris dancing  
The piper fell and he broke his neck  
And he said it was a chancer.  
You don’t know and I don’t know  
What fun we had at Brampton  
A roasted pig and a cuddled duck  
And a pudding in a lantern.

We’ve got all your life and mine  
As long as we abuse it, never gonna lose it  
Everything’ll work out right

We were so in phase  
In our dance hall days  
We were cool on craze  
When I, you and everyone we knew  
Could believe, do and share in what was true
