Paul Simon - Pigs Sheep Wolves Lyrics

Words & music by paul simon



Big and fat

Pigs supposed to look like that

Barnyard thug

Sleeps on straw and calls it a rug

Yeah thats a rug, ok

Ses walking down the street

And nobodys gonna argue with him

Hes 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

Hes just sitting by a rock



Whered he go? dont know

Well he was here a minute ago

I dont know

Sheeps dead

Got a gash as big as a wolfs head

Oh god

Big and fat

Pigs supposed to look like that

Wallowing in lanolin

Hes rubbing it into his pigskin

Police going crazy

Lets get him

Lets get that wolf

Lets get him

Lets get that wolf

Lets get him

Lets kill him, lets get him

Lets kill him



Court-appointed lawyer wasnt 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

Its a done deal

Election, I dont care, election

Lets give that wolf a lethal iniection

Lets get him, yeah get him,

Lets kill him, lets get him

Lets kill him, lets get him, kill him

Lets get him and kill him



Whew, slow

Here comes the media

Setting up their camera

Asking everyones opinion





About pigs, sheep and wolves



Big and fat

Pigs supposed to laugh like that

This is hilarious

What a great time

Im the pig who committed

The perfect crime



All around the world

France, scandinavia

Theres 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

Its animal behavior

Its pigs, sheep and wolves
