The Hunting of the Snark movie - The Pig Must Die lyrics

<br>

<br>

He dreamed that he stood in a shadowy Court,<br>

Where the Snark, with a glass in his eye,<br>

Dressed in gown, bands, and wig, was defendig a pig<br>

On a charge of deserting its sty.<br>

<br>

(Barrister)<br>

I dreamed last night I was standing in a court of Law,<br>

And the Snark was the Counsel for Defence,<br>

He was trying to establish the innocence,<br>

Of a pig that I clearly saw,<br>

As stated hereinbefore<br>

In a Court of Law.<br>

<br>

And while I was standing in a Court of Law,<br>

The jury talked so they missed a lot,<br>

And some were listening and some were not,<br>

So the judge cried, "I implore,<br>

Bring it down to a deafening roar,<br>

In this Court of Law".<br>

<br>

(Barrister + Jury)<br>

Let's teach it a lesson it'll never forget<br>

For a devious deed it will live to regret,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

We're of the opinion the pig must pay,<br>

We can't let it live for another day,<br>

We fear if the rules apply,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

<br>

(Barrister)<br>

The Snark replied, "I beg you my learned friends,<br>

For it seems to me with the naked eye<br>

That the pig can live or the pig can die,<br>

And its happiness all depends<br>

On the mercy that now extends<br>

From my learned friends."<br>

<br>

(Jury)<br>

Let's teach it a lesson it'll never forget<br>

For a devious deed it will live to regret,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

(Barrister + Jury)<br>

We're of the opinion the pig must pay,<br>

We can't let it live for another day,<br>

We fear if the rules apply,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

<br>

Let's teach it a lesson it'll never forget<br>

For a devious deed it will live to regret,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

We're of the opinion the pig must pay,<br>

We can't let it live for another day,<br>

We fear if the rules apply,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

<br>

Then the snark pronounced sentence, the Judge being quite<br>

Too nervous to utter a word;<br>

When it rose to its feet, there was silence like night<br>

And the fall of pin might be heard.<br>

<br>

(Barrister)<br>

Let's teach it a lesson it'll never forget<br>

For a devious deed it will live to regret,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

(Barrister + Jury)<br>

We're of the opinion the pig must pay,<br>

We can't let it live for another day,<br>

We fear if the rules apply,<br>

It's clear that the pig must die.<br>

<br>

But their wild exultation was suddenly checked<br>

When the jailer informed them with tears<br>

Such a sentence would have not the slightest effect,<br>

As the pig had been dead for some years.<br>
