- Big Ted Lyrics / with translationsBig Ted's dead, he was a great old pig
He'd eat most anything, never wore a wig
Now he's gone like snow on the water, goodbye
He was getting old so the farmer said
"Sold him to the butcher just to make a little bread"
He's gone like snow on the water, don't cry
Ted may be a moo cow next time around
Giving sweet milk to the people in the town
He'll be whatever, he will choose on air or sea or ground
Sows are busy with the piglets fine
I'd put them in the forest now if they were mine
'Cause I know they like acorns, I don't like bacon
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Sham sham sharoo, oh, sham sham sharoo, Big Ted's sold and gone
He came into the kitchen while we were away
He took all the rice and he forgot to pay
He's gone like snow on the water, goodbye
He never cared to do the boogaloo dance
All he ever thought about was food and romance
And he's gone like snow on the water, goodbye
Ted may be a moo cow next time around
Giving sweet milk to the people in the town
He'll be whatever he will choose on air or sea or ground
The sows are busy with the piglets fine
I'd put them in the forest now if they were mine
'Cause I know they like acorns and I don't like bacon
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Sham sham sharoo, oh, sham sham sharoo, Big Ted's sold and gone
Sham sham sharoo, oh, sham sham sharoo, Big Ted's sold and gone
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Sham sham sharoo, sham sham sharoo, Big Ted's sold and gone
He'd eat most anything, never wore a wig
Now he's gone like snow on the water, goodbye
He was getting old so the farmer said
"Sold him to the butcher just to make a little bread"
He's gone like snow on the water, don't cry
Ted may be a moo cow next time around
Giving sweet milk to the people in the town
He'll be whatever, he will choose on air or sea or ground
Sows are busy with the piglets fine
I'd put them in the forest now if they were mine
'Cause I know they like acorns, I don't like bacon
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly, squidly
Boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy, boochy
Sham sham sharoo, oh, sham sham sharoo, Big Ted's sold and gone
