2272343SngieBoar, sow, barrow, or gilt --
3272343SngieA pig is a pal, who'll boost your morale, 
4272343SngieThough mountains may topple and tilt.
5272343SngieWhen they've blackballed, bamboozled, and burned you,
6272343SngieWhen they've turned on you, Tory and Whig,
7272343SngieThough you may be thrown over by Tabby and Rover,
8272343SngieYou'll never go wrong with a pig, a pig,
9272343SngieYou'll never go wrong with a pig!
