Lyrics[]
Mickey: Howdy hi, just a simple country boy am I
Singin' me a simple country song
Singin' it all day long
Howdy hoo, everywhere I go my pig comes too
Everywhere he is that's where I'll be
Just my little pig and me
Piggy is a purdy little thang
But just you wait 'til you have heard him sing...
Gather 'round me, young and old (Piggy: *scats*)
Come hear little Piggy with pipes of gold (Piggy: *scats*)
Morning, afternoon, and night (Piggy: *scats*)
We sing our song 'til the early light
The song goes wee, (Piggy: Wee, wee...)
Hi diddly-dee (Piggy: Me, me...)
My Piggy and me (Piggy: Me, me...)
Mickey/Piggy: Just livin' in harmony
Mickey: It's easy to see (Piggy: Wee, wee...)
How happy are we (Piggy: Me, me...)
Mickey/Piggy: Just singin' our homespun melody
Mickey: News spread wide, over every hill and countryside
All about the pig who sings so high
Sweeter than a cherry pie
Pretty soon, folks are linin' up to hear our tune
Everywhere we go they shout, "Encore!"
Can you sing the song once more?
Gather 'round me, young and old (Piggy: Oink, oink, oink...)
(Crowd: *gasps*)
Come hear little Piggy with pipes of gold (Piggy: Oink, oink...)
*gasps*
(instrumental break where Mickey tries to cure Piggy even with help from Donald)
Piggy: Me, me... Homespun melody...
(song interrupts to only reveal a phonograph playing audio of Piggy when he was a piglet singing, much to the crowd's disgust)
Mickey: The song went wee...
Hi diddly dee...
How happy were we... (Piggy: Wee, wee...)
What's this I see...? (Piggy: See, see...)
My pig and me... (Piggy: Me, me...)
Mickey/Piggy: Still singin' in harmony!
Piggy: Me, me, me, me, me, me, me....
Mickey: Come meet the pig with the baritone (Piggy: *vocalizes*)
He sounds better than a slide trombone (Piggy: *vocalizes*)
Layin' down a bass line, scat with ease (Piggy: *vocalizes*)
Smooth like butter in the summer breeze (Piggy: *vocalizes*)
I'm tellin' ya I was shakin' in my shoes
And just about to sing the blues
When Piggy darlin' took my frown and turned it upside down
So, even though he's a hog of a generous size
We two can happily harmonize
They come from miles and miles around
Just to hear that swingin' sound
Mickey/Piggy: That's our homespun melody!
Piggy: *scats*
