Originally this was cannibalised from an earlier song called 'City in the sofa' inspired by the C. M. Kornbluth short story. The language was a little coarse and for that I apologise.
The harmonies on the chorus were inspired by the chorus of 'What in the world?' by the Dukes of Stratosfear (alias XTC).
lyrics
The first pig's laid in clay
My prey was all alone, I trailed him home
Waiting for the time
If fortune favours me, he'll lose his key
And then he'll be mine
What if the nightmare's true?
What if the bad guy's you?
I did not know what went wrong
I played along, waiting for the time
Your ass is mine, little piggy
Your ass is mine
Your ass is mine, little piggy
I'll bring the bacon home tonight
I camped across the road, no fixed abode
Stakeout for the win
I'll take that little sod, and may God
Forgive me for my sin
What if the nightmare's true?
What if the bad guy's you?
I do not know what went wrong
I played along, waiting for the time
Your ass is mine, little piggy
Your ass is mine
Your ass is mine, little piggy
This little piggy dies tonight
You'll feel this dead too
When I am done with you
This little piggy dies tonight
I found an open door, basement floor
Crept in from the rain
I'll make him disappear, never fear
Never seen again
What if the nightmare's true?
What if the bad guy's you?
I worked out where I went wrong
All along, so now he'll be mine
Your ass is mine, little piggy
Your ass is mine
Your ass is mine, little piggy
I'll bring the bacon home tonight
Your ass is mine, little piggy
Your ass is mine
Your ass is mine, little piggy
I'll bring the bacon home tonight
You'll feel this dead too
When I am done with you
I'll bring the bacon home tonight
