Lyrics
A Razorback's Woes
To be stuck in the mud, like an average thug, it's not all it's cracked up to be.
I'm a metro kind of guy, with an eye fer the finest, all the finest things made for someone like me.
Don't forget I'm a razorback, endowed with quite a knack.
I'm just the best, some might say I'm a mess, but not me!
I'm quite desired, simply not made, I'm simply not made like the rest.
I'm a porcine king, quite a thing to witness in the flesh.
I can't help my situation, a pretendin' it be endin', the way of life for the list a wanted delicacies.
It's not my fault that there's such a bounty on tasty morsels around this palace.
I'm just doing my job, it's clear to see.
I'm a razorback, endowed with quite a knack. I'm just the best, some might say I'm a mess, but not me!
I'm quite desired, simply not made, I'm simply not made like the rest.
I'm a porcine king, quite a thing to witness in the flesh.
Dapper as I can be, Just take a look at me. I'm a porcine Gentleman, can't ya see?
I got class, tons a taste, I'm not a waste. Won't you come and spend some time with me?
I'm a razorback, endowed with quite a knack. I'm just the best, some might say I'm a mess, but not me!
I'm quite desired, simply not made, I'm simply not made like the rest.
I'm a porcine king, quite a thing to witness in the flesh.
You won't find a unibrow, or unwanted whiskers on my sister,
mud left on my behind, unless I had no time, to escape my situation,
or clean up some devastatin' miscalculation, that would be a rarity.
I'm a razorback, endowed with quite a knack. I'm just the best, some might say I'm a mess, but not me!
I'm quite desired, sim ply not made, I'm simply not made like the rest.
I'm a porcine king, quite a thing to witness in the flesh.
I'm conflicted, it's so twisted, This life a mine, should be divine.
As it sits I need repair, got no love, no one to care.
I need someone that wants to share their life with me.
I'm a razor back, endowed with quite a knack. I am the best, handsome, not a mess, I'm desirable.
I've inspired tons. There's only one of me! I'm not like all the rest, like I said, I'm just the best.
Won't someone please just take a chance on Little ol' me!
