"Piikkisika, piikkisika porcupine
Hiding way up there beneat' da nor'dern pine
I take-a my shotgun and shoot-a him down
Piikkisika porcupine"

This is a song my great-grandfather and father sang; we are located in the UP of Michigan. My understanding is that it is a finnish song made popular in our area by the finnish immigrants who worked as loggers. Piikkisika means porcupine in finnish.
