Bit and fat
Pig's supposed to look like that
Barnyard thug
Sleep on straw and calls it a rug
Yeah that's a rug, ok
He's walking down the street
And nobody's going to argue with him
He's a half-a-ton of pig meat
Up in the hills above the farm
Lives a pack of wolves
Never did a harm
Sleep all day
Hunt till four
Maybe catch a couple of rodents
You know carnivore
Sheep in the meadow
Nibbling on some clover
One of the sheep wanders over
Sits by a rock
Separated from the flock
He's just sitting by a rock
Where'd he go?
I don't know
Well he was here a minute ago
I don't know
Sheep's dead
Got a gash as big as a wolf's head
Oh god
Big and fat
Pig's supposed to look like that
Wallowing in lanolin
He's rubbing it into his pigskin
Police going crazy
Let's get him
Let's get that wolf
Let's get him
Let's get that wolf
Let's get him
Let's kill him, Let's get him
Let's kill him
Court-appointed lawyer wasn't very bright
Or maybe he was bright
Maybe he just had a late night
Yeah it was just a late night
And he files some feeble appeal
And the governor says forget it
It's a done deal
Election, I don't care, election
Let's give that wolf a lethal injection
Let's get him, yeah get him
Let's kill him, Let's get him
Let's kill him, Let's get him,kill him
Let's get him and kill him
Whew, slow
Here comes the media
Setting up their camera
Asking everyone's opinion
About pigs, sheep and wolves
Big and fat
Pig's supposed to laugh like that
This is hilarious
What a great time
I'm the pig who committed
The perfect crime
All around the world
France, Scandinavia
There's a candle light vigils
Protesting this behavior
It's animal behavior
Animal behavior
It's Pig, sheep and wolves
Pig, sheep and wolves
Pig, sheep and wolves
It's animal behavior
Pig, sheep and wolves
