"Piggies" Lyrics

by George Harrison

Original Manuscript (1968)

(1) have you seen the Little Piggies crawling in the dirt?
and for all the little piggies life is getting worse -
always having dirt to play in about around in

(2) Have you seen the bigger Piggies in their startched [sic]
white shirts - and for all you can see the Bigger Piggies stirring up
the dirt - they all always have clean shirts - to play about around in

Middle
In their styes [sic] with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
what they need's a damn good whacking!

solo

(3) Everywhere there's lots of Piggies Living Piggy Lives
You can see them out to dinner with their Piggy Wives
Holding Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

(4) Everywhere there's lots of Piggies - playing Piggy Pranks
You can see them on there [sic] trotters - at the Piggy Banks
Paying Piggy thanks - too Thee Pig Brother!

As Released by the Beatles (1968)

Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt?
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in.

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts?
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in.

In their sties with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around.
In their lives there's something lacking
What they need's a damn good whacking.

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon.
