[F]I once had a pig that [G]loved me.
He lived in a shed in the [F]country.
In a middle class district of [F]Dunfries.
[G]But a sad kind of pig was [F]he.
Chorus:
[F]Pigs can't swim and [G]pigs can't fly
But Pigs can see the [F]wind go by.
Pigs make lovely [G]household friends.
When winter comes then [F]summer ends.
[F]Each week that lofty [G]beasty -
Would beg with eyes so [F]misty.
To take him over to [F]England.
[G]His life's dream to [F]fulfill.
Chorus
[F]He wants to plunge into the [G]channel
Swim to France would be his [F]gamble
Florence Chadwick couldn't hold a [F]candle
[G]To such a daring pig as [F]he.
Chorus
(This verse sung in pigs perspective - silly falsetto)
[F]So then I came up to him [G]askin'
will our friendship not be [F]lastin'
and he told me I was [F]graspin'
[G]and he needed to be [F]free!
Chorus
[G]So will you take me there [D]tomorrow
In a pigs eye I said with [G]sorrow
So he drown himself in the [C]bath tub (Naughty Boy)
[D]And I had pork chops with my [G]tea!
Chorus
[G]Early in the [D]morning
so early in the [G]morning
so early in the [C]morning
[D]before the break of [G]day
