Thread Name: Versions: the pig got up and slowly walked away
Subject: RE: the last line what's the rest? - pig song
This truncated version still gets a laugh, after fifty-odd years.

It was early last November,
As near as I remember,
I was walkin' down the street in tipsy pride.
No one was I disturbin'
As I lay down by the curbin',
When a pig came up and lay down by my side.

As I lay there in the gutter,
Thinkin' thoughts I dare not utter,
A lady passin' by was heard to say:
"You can tell a man who boozes,
By the company he chooses,"
And, the pig got up...and slowly walked away.
