Ah, would that I had the strength to give piggie-back rides like I
once did -- which is another interesting reference to pork, not that
I'm trying to ham it up! But then that reminds me of a great song by
Martin Mull (who, as an escaped robot from Dexter's Lab, blundered
into a biker convention and ad libbed a song about riding his hog to
keep from being disassembled! another interesting reference):
Well, the concert ended early
We ran out of things to play
And as the band left for the car
Me, I ambled towards the bar
I found 16 drunken Mexicans and you.
And I just drank enough till she looked good to me
And in the morning, I was sorry that I drank it
Waking up where I did not intend to be
'Neath the sheets, with a pig in a blanket
My friends say, "Roy, you'd be much better off
To just go home and yank it!"
But, here I am, man and wife,
With a pig in a blanket!
Your pig in a poke,
