My Darling - Pig with the Face of a Boy

My darling, believe me

My love for you is true

If you were to leave me

I know not what I’d do

And so tonight I thought I might

Let all my feelings show

And I will take you to the most

Romantic place I know

Come with me to the cockfight, my dear

Come see the fearless fowl

The bell is like beautiful music to me

Succeeded by shriek and howl

Come with me to the cockfight tonight

Come see them bite and scratch

We’ll see which one is puny and which one is tough

When they stuff then down that hatch

Take your seat for the cockfight, my sweet

Where severed feet sail by

Eyes are pecked out as I gaze into yours

Beauty as bright as the blood on their claws

Come with me to the cockfight, my love

Come see them shove and maul

When entrails are flailing you grow pale and faint

But I’ll catch you if you fall

Come with me to the cockfight, my love

Gasp as the blood runs free

Don’t be surprised if it gets in your eyes

And mind how you sit, lest it drip in your tea

Come with me to the cockfight, you may

Always of this be sure

As the cock of the walk rips the breast in his grip

That I’ll be more gentle with yours

And as your eyelids flutter

Their wings begin to flutter

I think i’ll have a flutter

On that roster from Calcutta

And as they screech and squawk and cluck

I do beseech thee lady luck

For ample fortune, ample pluck

To ask my lady

If she’ll maybe

Come with me to the cockfight, you dish

Where wishbones splinter and snap

We whistle for gristle and when one is dead

We’re enraptured as he runs around devoid of a head

Come with me to the cockfight, oh do

Dinner’s included too

When niblets of giblets are shredded and torn

They’re a romantic meal for two

Come with me to the cockfight, oh my

Come for the death and gore

When we’re together the feathers will fly

And I’ll kiss you as they mop up the guts on the floor

Come with me to the cockfight next week

Watch as their beaks dig in

The fun will begin as their innards appear

And I’ll save you an avian organ as a souvenir
