Pigs Might Fly (Raymond Crooke)

 

I didn’t study for this exam.

I really don’t know why.

But I reckon I’ll pass it anyway –

And pigs might fly.

 

Chorus       Hovering high above the clouds,

Soaring through the sky,

Floating gently on the breeze,

Yes, pigs might fly.

 

I made a New Year resolution.

I’m really going to try

To give up booze and cigarettes –

And pigs might fly.

 

I told my girl, “I love you.

I’d never make you cry.

Some day we might get married” –

And pigs might fly.

 

I skipped all my rehearsals

‘Cause I’m such a lazy guy.

But it’ll be all right – on the night –

And pigs might fly.

 

I’m voting for that candidate.

He’s never told a lie!

He’ll make this nation prosperous –

And pigs might fly.

 

I’m going off to battle.

I kissed my girl goodbye.

“I’ll come back without a scratch” –

And pigs might fly.

   (no chorus)

Go and fight for king and country.

Don’t be afraid to die,

For this’ll be the war to end all wars –

And pigs might fly.

 

I’ll record this song some day,

And everyone will buy.

It’ll make me rich and famous -

And pigs might fly.
