Dave's wife:
Needs a little attention to scansion if you want to sing it to the original.
Well, listen to a story 'bout a Piggy who was overfed
til' a farmer in Alalapha done shot that sucker dead
Hogzilla was his name and he weighed in at half a ton
but now his carcass is just a bunch of rottin' bacon
pork that is...
what a waste...
Now, listen to a story, 'bout a pig was overfed. (lose two syllables)
til' a farmer in Alalapha done shot that sucker dead
Hogzilla was his name and he weighed in at half a ton
But now he's been reduced to a pile of cheap bacon (lose two syllables)
Cheers
