The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

There were flowers from the boy pigs

Who were drinking in their barn digs

In suits of powdered blue

With those ruffled shirts on, too

All ordered through the mail

It was promnight in pigtown

There was hambones in long gowns

With painted cloven hooves

There was no need for shoes

Or the curlers in their tails

Couples had their pictures taken

Beneath those clothes the heat was bakin'

They'd pretend to be cool

Cause they'd soon be out of school

And the night a memory

They ate with noise food by the plates-full

But on the dance floor they were so graceful

They'd glide without a care

Their snouts tucked in the air

It was a sight to see

After desserts they bobbed for apples

All knowing soon they could be scrapple

Another packaged processed food

They bore no attitude

Or grudge against the world

The promqueen was dancing real slow

With her silk purse and her proud beau

Oinking low and soft

They quietly slipped off

With her new string of pearls

They all left in even numbers

Some to find love, some to find slumber

And some stayed up all night

To meet the morning light

Some went to the shore

After that, the class would scatter

From Delaware, to deli platters

All would lose a friend

They were noble till the end

And never asked for more

One little piggie went to market

On little piggie went to Rome

One little piggle had roast beef

And one little piggie had none

One little piggie had none

It was promnight in pigtown
