Lyrics

Ruffus ( E -G - E ) His name was Ruffus,and he lived on a farm, He was big and fat,and he never meant know harm, He couldn't get around to good,cause he lived in the barn, And he was so lazy,but he didn't give a darn, Well he was a pig,and he liked to dig, And if he heard some music,he could do a jig, He liked it when his owner came,and scratched his nose, But because he was a pig,he couldn't twinkle his toes, Chorus And one of these days,he'll be on your plate, And you'll be glad he was,for at breakfast you ate, For your morning feast,of bacon and eggs, And you'll be glad this big boy had four legs, Bridge Well around that barnyard,he was the boss hog, And no one messed with him,not even the dog, And when he got mad,everyone stayed clear, If he decided to charge,you better not be near, Well he'd be soon taking a trip,in his trailer, But this weren't no vacation,and he weren't no sailor, It would be a one way trip,and he wished he was a Ram, Cause he got turned into,the Thanksgiving Ham, Chorus+ Bridge He couldn't get away,no matter where he ran, Part of him would end up,in a can, There'll be know more laying around,getting a tan, And some day he might be,in your frying pan, This would be a sad end,to the barnyards friend, But it was just a matter of time,and he'd meet his end, But part of him would be there,for some time, Resting in that big freezer,and very sublime, Chorus Well poor old Ruffus,he didn't go far, He's gone just down the road,to the abattoir, But the farmer still remembers,Ruffus had good genes, When he was sitting down,for some pork and beans !
