BIG PET PIG
(Clarke / Wilde) based on the traditional Irish tune “Big Strong Man”
Have you heard about the big pet pig?
He’s bigger than a four-ton rig
Have you heard about the junk he tried to eat?
My word what a heck of a feat

You can take all the garbage that you’ve got
(What you got?)
Got a pig who will eat the whole lot
(Big lot!)
He used to be a half pint squealer
Now he’s bigger than an 18-Wheeler

He’s a big boy, Sylvester
Got a row of forty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
Best in show throughout the west
He knows no rest
Bigger the pig
Oink oink
Don’t push
Just shove
Plenty room for you and me

He’s got a flank like a tank
And a snout that could sink a battleship
It will take all the boys and girls
To catch this pig

He thought he’d take a trip to Italy
(How’d he go?)
He thought that he’d go by sea
(Big sea!)
He jumped off the harbor in New York
And he sank like a porker from Cork
Up to the surface came his snout
And he bellowed like a blue whale spout
He drank all the water in the sea
And he walked all the way to Italy

He’s a big boy, Sylvester
Got a row of forty medals on his chest (Big chest!)
Best in show throughout the west
He knows no rest
Bigger the pig
Oink oink
Don’t push
Just shove
Plenty room for you and me

Flank, tank
Breath that could sink a battleship
It will take all the boys and girls
To catch Big Pig Sylvester
