Paul Simon - Pigs, Sheep And Wolves Lyrics

Big and fat
Pig's supposed to look like that
Barnyard thug
Sleeps on straw and he calls it a rug
Yeah that's a rug, okay
He's walkin' 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 a carnivore

Sheep in the meadow nibblin' on some clover
One of the sheep just wanders over
Sits by a rock separated from the flock
He's just sittin' 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
Wallowin' in lanolin
He's rubbin' it into his pigskin
Police are goin' crazy and sayin'
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
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
It's election, I don't care, election
Let's give that wolf a lethal injection

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
Let's get him, kill him
Let's get him, let's kill him

Whew, slow
Here comes the media with their camera
Askin' everybody'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
Candle light vigils, protesting behavior
It's animal behavior
It's animal behavior

It's pig, sheep and wolves
Pig, sheep and wolves
Pig, sheep and wolves
It's animal behavior
It's pig, sheep and wolves
