lyrics

Happy the Pig

My mother’s short, my brother’s fat
My father’s ugly, no doubt about that.
I am dirty I live in the mud.
I wish I was big, my name’s Happy the Pig.

Wealthy with health, in money we’re poor.
We sleep on beds that are made of manure
My grandmother and my grandfather
Are wrinkled pink and love each other.

My name is Happy the Pig
And though I want to be big,
I’m small enough to sneak out of the sty
I’m happy the Pig, I’m thin as a twig
When I’m older I’m going to learn to fly.

When I got out I sent a wire
To the incredibly wily animal choir
Please, please, please help my family escape
Send Rabbit Sinclair and Alfred the Ape.

Rabbit and Alfred arrived the next night
They dug holes and pulled with all of their might.
“It’s no use,” they said, “we need more strength.”
“Let’s call Flamenco Bull,” they agreed at length. (other oiceover

Flamenco Bull had escaped from Spain
Where he was in danger of being slain.
He had a heart of gold and muscles like steel
And when the pigpen was destroyed I began to squeal (narrator)

“My name is Happy the Pig
And though I want to be big,
I’m small enough to sneak out the sty
Now my family is free and we are oinking with glee
When I’m older I’m going to be a pilot.”

And so I learned that being small is fine
and is extremely useful from time to time.

And if it wasn’t for my little frame,
I wouldn’t have such a great nick name

I wrote this album years ago for my niece and nephew, wanted to get it out into the world, so I made this page and did some illustrations.

Thanks for listening!
