[Verse 1]
[G]You[D]'ve[G] he[C]ard[D] of[G]
the wonderful [C]Christmas Goose
and the Walloping [G]Great Meat Pie
But I think myself it's [C]not much use
to tell you a monstrous [G]lie
I'll tell you of a wonder now,
as [C]true as [D]I'm a [G]sinner
[D]About a wonderful [G]sucking pig
we had for [D]Christmas din[G]ner
That great, incredible,
wonderfully ed[C]ible marvel of
a [D]Christmas [G]pig[D]
[G]The very first day the pig[C] was bor[G]n
he [C]cut a few [G]rummy capers
He swallowed up two big [C]fields of corn
and forty -two [G]tonne of taters
They [C]took and drewed out all his teeth,
but that just [D]made him [G]snarly
He [D]bolted a wagon load of
[G]Swedes
and a wagon load of barley
That great, incredible,
wonderfully ed[C]ible mar[D]vel of a Christmas [G]pig[C][G]
This wonderful pig he [C]got so fat
he over[G]flowed Hyde Park
His head, they say, when [C]three weeks old
was big as Noah's [G]ark
Leg was like a [C]greasy pole
with a ton of [D]bristles [G]on it
[D]An d his curly tail went
[G]pulled out straight
with the [D]shape of a lady's [G]bonnet
That great, incredible,
wonderfully edible marvel of a
[D]Christmas [G]pig![Ab][Db][Ab][Eb]
[Ab]One year was big as Temple Bar,
or [Db]so the [Ab]people tell us
And every time he [Db]heaved a [Ab]sight
was [Db]like a [Ab]blacksmith's bellows
His back was like Black[Db]friar's [Ab]bridge
and if I'm not mistaken
[Eb]His head and neck was [Ab]made of [Eb]pork
and his latter end was [G]bacon
[Ab]That great, incredible,
wonderfully edible
marvel of a [Eb]Christmas [Ab]pig![Eb]
[Ab]To kill this marvellous Ch[Db]ristmas pi[Ab]g
they [Db]all got [Ab]tired of trying
For I won't tell you [Db]a word of a [Ab]lie,
he was seventeen years in dying
And when at [Db]last they'd laid him [Ab]out,
this [Db]pig that [Ab]was so frisky
At [Eb]Charing Cross they [Ab]laid his snout
and his tail in the Bay of Biscay
That great, incredible, wonderfully [Db]edible mar
[Eb]vel of a Christmas [Ab]pig[Db][Eb][Ab][Db]
[Eb]
[Ab]Two hundred butc[Eb]hers went [Db]to work[Ab]
with [Db]cleavers, [Ab]knives and choppers
It took them just on [Db]seven years
to cut off [Eb]one of his [Ab]trotters
One knuckle [Db]bone they had for lunch,
so in Hyde [Eb]Park they [Ab]took it
And had to [Eb]boil a [Ab]serpent[Eb]ine
in a vain attempt to [Ab]cook it
That great, incredible,
wonderfully ed[Db]ible
mar[Ab]vel of a [Eb]Christmas [Ab]pig![Bb][Eb][F]
[Bb]The bones were sent to
[Eb]flour mills
to be ground [Bb]up for flour
That's logical, filled 300 [Eb],000 sacks
in less than half [Bb]an hour
On Christmas [Eb]Eve the queue began,
as far as [Bb]I remember
They were still there
serving meals from him
the following [F]Septem[Bb]ber
[F]That [Bb]great, incredible,
wonderfully ed[Eb]ible
mar[Bb]vel of [F]a Christmas [Bb]pig!
That great, incredible,
wonderfully edible,
marvel [F]of a wonderful [Bb]Christmas [F]Day![Eb]
