Piggies

Average song rating A scathing social comment from George which is given a nursery-rhyme sort of melody, and an interesting ambience from the harpsichord-and-horns orchestration--an fascinating and delightful stew. It was a pleasant surprise for George to include this song in his Live in Japan album (it sounds like he enjoys singing this song more than his big hits). Bruce Beatlefan September 16, 2006

Lyrics

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
