Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: Steve Shaw Date: 23 Sep 15 - 06:57 PM Brilliant tune, Pig Ankle Rag! As an aficionado of Irish tunes, I'd suggest the Hog at the Churn and Old Hog You Have Killed Me. For a song, I'd recommend Robbie Burns' Cock Up Your Beaver. OK, wrong mammal, but Cameron would have been too pissed to notice. |

Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: Jim Carroll Date: 23 Sep 15 - 08:26 PM 'Twas an evening in October, I'll confess I wasn't sober, I was carting home a load with manly pride, When my feet began to stutter and I fell into the gutter, And a pig came up and lay down by my side. Then I lay there in the gutter and my heart was all a-flutter, Till a lady, passing by, did chance to say: "You can tell a man that boozes by the company he chooses," Then the pig got up and slowly walked away.

Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: PHJim Date: 24 Sep 15 - 12:47 PM Prom Night In Pigtown John Gorka There were flowers from the boy pigs, Who were drinkin' in their barn digs, In suits of powder blue, And ruffled shirts on too, All ordered through the mail. It was prom night in Pig Town There was hambones in long gowns, With painted cloven hooves, There was no need for shoes, Or the curlers in their tails. Couples had their pictures taken, Under those clothes, the heat was bakin', They pretended to be cool, 'Cause they'd soon be out of school, The night of memories. They ate with noise food by the plates full, But on the dance floor, they were so graceful, They'd glide without a care, Their snouts tucked in the air, It was a sight to see. After desserts they bobbed for apples, All knowing soon they could be scrapple, Another packaged processed food, They bore no attitude, Or grudge against the world. The prom queen was dancing real slow, With her silk purse and her proud beau, Oinking low and soft, They quietly slipped off With her new string of pearls. They all left in even numbers, Some to find love, some to find slumber; And some stayed up all night, To greet the morning light, And some went to the shore. And after that the class would scatter, From Delaware to deli platter, All would lose a friend, They were noble to the end, And never asked for more. One little piggy went to market, One little piggy went to Rome, One little piggy ate roast beef, One little piggy had none, One little piggy had none. It was prom night in Pig Town. |

Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: GUEST,Dave Hunt (Dr Sunshine) Date: 26 Sep 15 - 01:45 AM We ( Sunshine Arts for 16 years...previously, Dr Sunshine's Pavement Show for 23 years.) have a whole collection of Pig songs...Do them as 'The pig set'! eg When a pigs a failure He straightens out his tail But piggies tails are curly Cos piggies never fail (Taught to me by a lovely lady in the street at Sidmouth! we do it as a round) ********************* Four Pink Pigs. This is the story of four pink pigs Two of them little and two of them big two of them little and two of them big They danced all night at the Pigtown Jig Now the two that was little was only half grown But the two that was big was big as a barn Big as a barn and tall as a tree Send 'em on down to the factory Slice 'em into bacon, cut 'em into ham Stuff 'em into hot dogs , squeeze 'em into Spam Pickle their livers and scramble their brain, Throw their little eyes out in the rain This is the story of two pink pigs Leaning on the slop trough smokin' their cigs Hoping to God they never get big So they can dance all night at the Pigtown Jig (From a young American singer in Edinburgh when I was working at Edinburgh Folk Festival.....not suitable for vegetarians!) ******************************** Whose Pigs are These...usual .....as a round (we also recorded this with lots of different animals! eg Whose Cow's are these..... They are Ken Hughes' - I can tell 'em by their Moos Whose Dogs are these They are Baz Parkes' I can tell 'em by their barks etc Baz was part of our group , Ken was a singer from Shrewsbury And all the other verses mentioned local folk people) ********************************** Piggy on the railway picking up stones Along came an engine and broke his bones Oh! said piggy, that's not fair Well said the engine driver...I don't care! ************************ Three Little Pigs...a brilliant song by the late Leslie Howarth which we also recorded on 'Sunny Songs for Children' Three little pigs they left the sty, They bade their mother a fond goodbye Each his fortune he would try To prove them pigs of mettle One went East and one went West One by the road he thought the best Each in property did invest On which he proposed to settle Now the first litte pig built a house of hay He didn't have any foundations to lay But a big bad wolf he came that way And called on him to surrender Little pig little pig let me come in Oh no by the hairs on my chinny chin chin Then I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in Oh wasn't he sweet and tender. Now the next little pig built a timber shack To keep the weather from off his back He though himself safe from all attack But the wolf he though 'How easy' O little pig ...etc I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your house in Oh wasn't he rich and greasy. The third little pig built a house of brick The walls were half a metre thick Thinks he to himself 'This'll do the trick The wolf can do his worst Oh little pig etc... And he blew till he damned near burst He huffed and he puffed like a turbo jet If he'd not lost his breath he'd be puffing there yet Thinks he to himself a trap I must set If this little pig's to be taken Oh little pig, little pig won't you come out For apples and turnips are lying about But the piggy just laughed at him up his snout For he always saved his bacon! Then the wolf completely lost control And tried to climb in through the chimney hole But he tumbled right into the casserole Oh how the broth did bubble Then the little pig plied his knife and fork For he liked wolf more than wolf liked pork And many a bottle did lose it's cork In toasting the end of his trouble And when he had finished his carouse He married the very sweetest of sows And took her back home to his fine brick house to live in honour and glory Five little pigs in time did come One went to market and one stayed home One had roast beef and one had none.... (slight pause) But that's another story!!! *********************** Brilliant rhyming scheme, a very clever and funny song. We do it with three kids from the audience and give them rubber snouts - (on thin elastic) I sing and Maggie uses the wolfshead hat/mask we have. (used to be the late lamented 'Dudley'Vic Baker[Professor Wingnut] who took that part...hard to realise he died back in 1999!) Also works really well with adults if you pick the right three, and get them to act the parts! Cheers Dave Hunt (Dr Sunshine) |
Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: PHJim Date: 26 Sep 15 - 10:47 AM My apologies for the multiple postings. It seems that Dave Hunt's "Four Pink Pigs" must have been sung by someone who couldn't remember the exact wording of Greg Brown's "Four Wet Pigs". Bryan Bowers also did a fine job of singing this song. |

Subject: RE: Pig tunes From: GUEST,Stuart Estell Date: 28 Sep 15 - 08:37 AM The Ritchie family's "Old Woman and the pig" -- I'm sure this could be adjusted quite successfully in light of recent events. The line about it being the "prettiest pig" seems particularly appropriate! There was an old woman and she had a little pig Didn't cost much 'cause it wasn't very big The little old woman kept the piggy in a barn Prettiest pig on the whole damn' farm The little old woman fed the piggy on clover It fell down and died all over The little old woman she died of grief Wasn't that a sad relief The little old man he cried and cried Then he too lay down and died That was the end of the one two three The man and the woman and the little piggy The good book lies upon the shelf If you want any more you can sing it yourself |
