Have you seen the little piggies
Crawling in the dirt
And for all the little piggies
Life is getting worse
Always having dirt to play around in

Have you seen the bigger piggies
In their starched white shirts
You will find the bigger piggies
Stirring up the dirt
Always have clean shirts to play around in

In their styes with all their backing
They don't care what goes on around
In their eyes there's something lacking
What they need's a d___ good whacking

Everywhere there's lots of piggies
Living piggy lives
You can see them out for dinner
With their piggy wives
Clutching forks and knives to eat their bacon

STORY BEHIND THE SONG (PIGGIES)
George referred to 'Piggies' as "a social comment" although the song did little more than mock the middle classes by calling them pigs, a Sixties term of derision usually reserved for the police.

The song became notorious in 1971 when it was revealed that Charles Manson, the self-appointed leader of the notorious Manson 'family', had interpreted the words as a warning to the white establishment that they were to get ready for an uprising.

Particularly significant, in Manson's disturbed mind, was the suggestion that the piggies were in need of "a d___ good whacking". According to witnesses, this was one of Manson's favourite lines, and one that he quotes frequently before his imprisonment for involvement in the murders which many saw as the final dark chapter in the hippie era.

The clue that eventually linked the eight murders - five at the residence of film-star Sharon Tate, two at Leno l____nca's and one at Gary Hinman's - was the painting of the word 'pig', 'pigs or 'piggy' in the victim's blood. The l____ncas were even stabbed with knives and forks, apparently because these utensils are mentioned in the last verse.

George was horrified at Manson's maniacal interpretation of what he felt was a rather tame song , pointing out that the 'd___ good whacking' line had been suggested by his mother when he was looking for something to rhyme with 'backing' and 'lacking'. "It was nothing to do with American policemen or Californian s___nasties," he said.
