Subject: Lyr Add: The Ballad of Hogzilla
Since I couldn't find the exact lyrics I heard, I fudged 'em and made up my own. the 1sy verse is pretty close to what was circulating back when the first photos appeared. 2nd and 3rd verses, I took great liberties with. ENjoy and/or add the lyrics you know:

The Final version of The Ballad of Hogzilla
To the Tune of The Beverly Hillbillies

Well, listen to a story 'bout a Piggy who was overfed
til' a farmer in Alapha done shot that sucker dead
Hogzilla was his name and he weighed in at half a ton
but now his rottin' carcass is just a bunch o' bacon
pork that is...
what a waste...

He started out like Babe or just another Porky Pig
but roaming round the countryside he sure got real big
til one day ol' Ken Holyoake saw him eatin' up a cow
so he got his gun and gave him chase, Hogzilla went down
in history that is...
tall tale...

Well Ol' Hogzilla's dead and gone and rottin' in the ground
but every Georgian knows where's there's one there's more to be found
so when yer out in the Alapha woods better watch your back my friend
cuz hogzilla's older brother might jess be around the bend!
and pissed off he is..
figthin' mad!



I realize I have 'rotting' in there twice, but what can ya do?
