Artist/Band: The Beatles
Lyrics for Song: Piggies
Lyrics for Album: The White Album (Remastered) [2009]



Have you see the little piggies

crawling in the dirt

And for all the little piggies

Life is getting worse

Always having dirt

to play around in



Have you see the bigger piggies

In their starched white shirts

You will find the bigger piggies

Stirring up the dirt

Always have clean shirts

to play around in



In their sties with all their backing

They don't care what goes on around

In their eyes there's something lacking

What they need's a darn good whacking



Everywhere there's lots of piggies

Living piggy lives

You can see them out for dinner

With their piggy wives

Clutching forks and knives

to eat their bacon



One more time


Piggies

Recorded in 1968, "Piggies" stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' experimental phase on The White Album. The track features a distinctive, repetitive guitar riff that drives a chaotic and humorous narrative, reflecting the band's growing confidence in pushing musical boundaries. With lyrics depicting a surreal encounter with a pig, the song embraces absurdity and dark comedy, characteristic of the group's work during this era. It showcases John Lennon's songwriting prowess and George Harrison's melodic contributions, while the recording captures the raw energy and improvisational spirit of the studio sessions. As a staple of their discography, "Piggies" remains a significant piece of rock history, celebrated for its unique blend of satire and musical innovation.
