Subject: RE: The Sow song
Here are the words of the "The Little Pigs":

Oh the little pigs lay in a farmer's yard
(grunt) -ard (splutter) -ard (whistle) -ard and a diderli-ard
Oh the little pigs lay in a farmer's yard
(grunt) -ard (splutter) -ard (whistle) -ard and a diderli-ard
And they go, with a lilligerlie ger lee
Here comes the cannibal man
(grunt) -an (splutter) -an (whistle) -an
Here comes the cannibal man
And they go, with a lilligerlie ger lee
Here comes the cannibal man
(grunt) -an (splutter) -an (whistle) -an
Here comes the cannibal man.

The little pigs lay with their tails turned up -up etc

The little pigs makes the best of pork -ork etc

The old sow learns the young 'uns to grunt - unt etc

And now that I have sung you my song -ong etc
I hopes I haven't detained yer too long - one etc

I don't know anything more about it apart from the fact that it was given to me by the late Bob Arnold of Asthall, Oxfordshire.

By the way 'Lighter at work' - who are you really and do I know you?!
