[The Incredible String Band - Big Ted Changing Horses lyrics]
Big 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
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
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, don’t cry
He never cared to do the boogaloo dance
All he ever thought about
Was food and romance
Now 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
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
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'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
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
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, don’t cry
He never cared to do the boogaloo dance

Now he's gone like snow on the water
Don’t cry

Giving sweet milk to the people in the town

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
