Big man, pig man, ha ha charade you are. You well heeled big wheel, ha ha charade you are. And when your hand is on your heart; You’re nearly a good laugh, almost a joker, with your head down in the pig bin Saying, " Keep on digging", pig stain on your fat chin. What do you hope to find, when you’re down in the pig mine? You’re nearly a laugh, you’re nearly a laugh, but you’re really a cry.
