Lyrics
He's Pigfarmer Jr
Hopes to be a senior some day
He's Pigfarmer Jr
He's not gonna make it this way
He don't even own a single pig
The only pig he had got too big
He made her into a sausage
And ate her in the morn'
Saving lots of money on feed and corn
He's Pigfarmer Jr
Hopes to be a journeyman some day
He's Pigfarmer Jr
He's not gonna make it this way
He's Pigfarmer Jr
(He's Pigfarmer Jr)

Nice theme song. The play on he don't own a pig into the only he had is great.
Very ham-bient! It's got a super nice, porky rhythm to it.
And I wish him a pigging lot of luck! 😜
I love the quirkiness of this song and the way you draw out Pig…….and the flow of Farmer Jr… the repetition makes it endearing. I remember the first FOP I went to in Madison everyone here was talking wondering if Pigfarmer would show up… and talking about what an amazing songwriter Pigfarmer was … and then it took me a few more years after I met TC to know that the famed Pigfarmer Jr and TC were one!
Like the intervals in pi-ig farm-er - it's a very satisfying melodic part. Memorable. Maybe we should both reconsider our user names.
So memorable! Reminds me of old country songs. Cute!
ahahahaha i read down the lyrics before I pressed play but the Jr/"senior" pun only hit me in auditory form! i would totally watch the pigfarmer jr show!
Super clear characterization and capsule narrative and catchy melody, just what a certain kind of production might call for. Well done in extending the song in such a way that the producer can fade out at 0:33 without missing the message, but can extend beyond that as needed.
