Stompin' Tom - Piggy-Back Race lyrics
Your rating:
Twas July 32 on Piggy Back Day And the crowds were all standing in each other's way They came there to watch him that awful disgrace The annual champ of the piggy-back race. The cabbage roll kid just an overgrown yuke He was last years champ because he won by a fluke For ole grip tight Glenny was too thin to be seen And he lost his first prize to the cabbage machine And leprechaun Johnny would not have entered this deal But he had no way of knowing all the pigs would be real And the Skinners Pond hippie had a laugh in his face To see Leprechaun Johnny in a piggy-back race Singing chuckle D chuckle D D D D Singing chuckle D chuckle D D Now the crowd started looking at a sight that was weird Just an old pair of boots with a nose and a beard And it said I can win any prize in this show And he signed himself in Pinochio Joe Now all the contestants there must have been 10 Were all ready to jump on their pigs in the pen But the whistle got stuck and so did the gun And there wasn't a soul there that could count higher then 1 At last they were off each man to a hog For the 100 yard dash through that dirty old bog Where that leprechaun vanished and left not a trace No more to return to the piggy-back race Singing chuckle D chuckle D D D D Singing chuckle D chuckle D D Now the man with the nose he was making good time He arrived with his hog at the finishing line They were covered with mud and their noses so big There was no one could tell which one was the pig Now old grip tight Glenny was no fool or no kook He slipped off his pig but came in but came in on the yuke And if you see a pig with a cowboy hat on It belongs to that hippie from old skinners pond Now pinochio Joe he could never play chess But at piggy back riding we know he's the best So we gave him first prize a pie in his face And we found our new champ for the piggy back race Singing chuckle D chuckle D D D D Singing chuckle D chuckle D D
