The Camel's Last Gasp - THE RAZOR BACK PIG

THE RAZOR BACK PIG


WHERE was Moses
            When the goose said quack?
Where was Moses?
            Why does he turn his back?
Is he washing down a snack
Of pork with apple jack?
            Where was Moses
When the goose said quack?

Devils galore take a swig,
Look at them delving their dig
Doing their stunt with a jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

On the spine of a razor back pig,
On the spine of a razor back pig.
Seventeen devils may jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

Not far from that village called Yale,
Men frequently ride on a rail.
            In the jail, all those farmers,
            Wear yellow pajamas,
That nightie without any tail.

Where was Ikie
            when the beer went flat?
Where was Ikie,
            whatever was he at?
Was he climbing Ararat
With Casey at the bat?
            Where was Ikie
When the beer went flat?

We will lash Tubal Kane with a rope,
But first rub the rope with soft soap.
And after that dope we will jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

On the spine of a razor back pig,
On the spine of a razor back pig.
Seventeen devils may jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

Not far from that village called Yale,
Men frequently ride on a rail,
            In the jail all those farmers,
            Wear yellow pajamas,
That nightie without any tail.

Where was Jakie
            When his teeth fell out?
Where was Jakie
            And what was he about?
Was he trying to catch trout?
Was he polishing his snout
            Where was Jakie
When his teeth fell out?

Seventeen venomous devils
Devils from various levels
Dance on elliptical bevels
Enjoying their rollicksome revels.

On the spine of a razor back pig,
On the spine of a razor back pig.
Seventeen devils may jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

Not far from that village called Yale,
Men frequently ride on a rail,
            In the jail all those farmers,
            Wear yellow pajamas,
That nightie without any tail.

Peter got it
            in the neck, neck, neck.
See the slip knot
            Strangling the geck.
Kick the chair away
See the body sway.
            Peter got it
In the neck, neck, neck.

We'll gather those bright, yellow docks
At the end of the lane on the rocks.
Where the fox had a pain near that box.
Of jewellery Tubal Kane hocks.

On the spine of a razor back pig,
on the spine of a razor back pig.
Seventeen devils may jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

Not far from the village called Yale,
Men frequently ride on a rail.
            In the jail all those farmers,
            Wear yellow pajamas,
That nightie without any tail.

Where was Nimrod
            when he ate the rat?
Where was Nimrod
            how did he get so fat?
Is he chucking down his hat
Over Paddy Duffy's cat?
            Where was Nimrod
When he ate that rat?

Come, let us enter that drain
Deep in the mud near the lane
There where the fox had a pain.
That's where we'll smash Tubal Kane.

On the spine of a razor back pig,
On the spine of a razor back pig.
Seventeen devils may jig
On the spine of a razor back pig.

Not far from that village called Yale,
Men frequently ride on a rail.
            In the jail all those farmers
            Wear yellow pajamas
That nightie without any tail.
