Piggies

The Beatles

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 sties 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

[One more time]
