Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Big man, pig man
Ha-ha, charade you are
Woo
You well-heeled big wheel
Ha-ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Sayin', "keep on digging"
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
Down in the pig mine
[Chorus]
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
[Verse 2]
Bus stop rat bag
Ha-ha, charade you are
You fucked up old hag
Ha-ha, charade you are
You radiate cold shafts of broken glass
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost worth a quick grin
You like the feel of steel
You're hot stuff with a hatpin
And good fun with a handgun
[Chorus]
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh, but you're really a cry
[Verse 3]
Hey you, Whitehouse
Ha-ha, charade you are
You house proud town mouse
Ha-ha, charade you are
You're tryin' to keep our feelings off the street
You're nearly a real treat
All tight lips and cold feet
And do you feel abused?
Gotta stem the evil tide
And keep it all on the inside
[Chorus]
Mary, you're nearly a treat
Mary, you're nearly a treat, but you're really a cry
