Lyrics
If you look inside your wallet, or your bank book, or your purse
And you find, how shall we say, the cupboard's bare
There's a lesson you should follow that at first is hard to swallow
But in time you'll learn to use with style and flare (style and flare)
It's a lesson that I learned from all my years down on
The farm in the rolling cornfields out in Illinois (Illinois)
Farmer Jerry said to me,
"If you're off to the city,
Here's a piece of farm advice you should employ."
Souieeee!
Put it in the piggy (snort snort)
Put it in the piggy (snort snort)
If you do your savings will be biggy (snort snort)
Biggy, biggy, biggy
If you watch your spending (snort snort)
There will be a happy ending (snort snort)
You'll have lots and lots of money if you listen
To me, honey, and you put it in the piggy with me
(Snort)
For example, if you're holding your allowance in your hand
And you're passing by your favorite candy store (favorite store)
Though you're saving for a baseball glove you've wanted all year long
You can see those Jujubes you just adore (yum!)
And you go up to the countertop and to yourself you say,
"I deserve these Jujubes! I really do!" (Of course you do)
A vision may appear
It's Farmer Jerry loud and clear saying,
"I would put those back if I was you."
What the heck's a Jujube?
Put it in the piggy (do you really need that?)
Put it in the piggy (I don't think so)
If you do your life will be less wiggy (snort snort)
Wiggy, wiggy, wiggy
Put aside some cash now (snort snort)
Start a little stash now (snort snort)
If you're careful with a nickel,
Then you won't get in a pickle if you put it in the piggy with me
That's a really lovely sweater
Let's go out and see a show
All the girls admitted for miniature golf,
And we really really want you to go (snort)
Don't forget your friends on the farm (snort)
Buyin' shouldn't cost you a leg and an arm (snort)
Take the thing you want the most, or your savings will be toast
Put it in the piggy (moo-tual funds)
Put it in the piggy (baah-nds)
If you do your savings will be biggy (snort snort)
Biggy, biggy, biggy
Put it in the piggy (don't spend like a dork)
Put it in the piggy (eliminate pork)
You'll have lots and lots of money if you listen to me,
Honey, and you put it in the piggy with me (ham it up!)
Put it in the piggy with me (now you're bacon)
Put it in the piggy with me! (You reap what you sow)
Here comes the pig finish!
