Lyric Pigs, Sheep And Wolves
Words & music by Paul Simon
Big and fat
Pig s supposed to look like that
Barnyard thug
Sleeps on straw and calls it a rug
Yeah that s a rug, ok
Se s walking down the street
And nobody s gonna 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 no 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? 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
Oh 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 iniection
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 candle light vigils
Protesting this behavior
It s animal behavior
Animal behavior
Its pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
Pigs, sheep and wolves
It s animal behavior
It s pigs, sheep and wolves
