Subject: Lyr/Tune Add: THE PIG AND THE INEBRIATE ^^
Here's a tune I found in a great book called Songs That Changed the World, edited by Wanda Willson Whitman in 1969. I found the book in the library, and now I'm trying to find somewhere to buy it. None of the online used-book services I know have it listed. Not sure how this particular song changed the world, but maybe it will serve as an inspiration to those who overindulged over the holidays. The lyrics (3 versions) are in the database, but not the tune.

THE PIG AND THE INEBRIATE
(The Unsociable Pig)
(songwriter unknown)

It was early in December, as near as I remember
While walking down the street in tipsy pride,
No one was I disturbing
As I lay down on the curbing,
When a pig came up and lay down by my side.

As I lay there in the gutter, thinking thoughts I cannot utter,
A lady passing 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.
