Harry in the Piggery

Mighty Sparrow

Since Harry come from New York
They say he like plenty pork
Since Harry come from New York
They say he like plenty pork
At night when you sleeping
Harry gone out creeping
Forsaking his wife and children
And he sleeping in the pig pen

So
Neighbour! Neighbour! Come! Come and see
(Harry in the piggery!)
Oh, oh, oh, you really surprise me
(Harry in the piggery!)
Harry you going crazy
(Harry in the piggery!)
Call he wife, call he wife
Ah longing to show she
(Harry in the piggery!)

When Harry wifе got the news
I know she was so confusеd
But she had to keep steady
What she go do, we done catch him already
She was inside stranded
He was caught red handed
The ungrateful dog leave he wife
And gone to sleep by a hog

Neighbour! Neighbour! Come quick and see
(Harry in the piggery!)
Looky there! Looky there, that is Harry
(Harry in the piggery!)
Mm, Harry, you really surprise me
(Harry in the piggery!)
Come quick! Look Harry
(Harry in the piggery!)

So they send for a police
To see what happen to the beast
The police bring a doctor
Doctor say that the pig was in order
Then you should hear Harry
"This is a free country!
Tell prosecutor Mike
Ah man have a right to sleep where he like!"

Yeah
Neighbour! Neighbour! Come quick and see
(Harry in the piggery!)
Oh, Harry, you really surprise me
(Harry in the piggery!)
Mm, you must be going crazy
(Harry in the piggery!)
Call he wife, call he wife
Look at Harry
(Harry in the piggery!)

Shame on you!
Shame on you Harry!

Monday morning ah hurry
Down to the courthouse to hear about Harry
This time if you see the feller
Three times uglier than Dracula
Without any question
The prosecutor mention
"Throw him in the brig
A monkey have no right to sleep by a pig!"

So
Neighbour! Neighbour! Come quick and see
(Harry in the piggery!)
People! People! Come quick and see
(Harry in the piggery!)
Oh, oh, you really surprise me
(Harry in the piggery!)
Mm, Harry you be going crazy
(Harry in the piggery!)

(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
Play something! Play that piece, man!
(Harry in the piggery!)

(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)

No man, Harry, no man!
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)

Shame on you Harry!
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)

(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
(Harry in the piggery!)
