Dear Mr. President, It came as quite a shock.
To hear the first Thanksgiving was not at Plymouth Rock.
And they didn’t eat Turkey or candied yams,
But they feasted on a juicy Virginia ham.
Now Mr. President, what we going to do
To get the story straight and tell what's true?
Maybe this year in the Rose Garden,
Next to that turkey you could give - give a pig a pardon.
Chorus:
Pig, pig, pardon, in the Rose Garden.
Pig pardon in the Rose garden
Wouldn't that be great?
Pig pardon in the Rose Garden.
Let's set that story straight.
It was down in Virginia at Berkeley Plantation
Where the settlers first held their grateful celebration.
It was 1619, just a year before
The pilgrims in New England came ashore.
I've got a petition to pardon Ginny the Pig.
If we all sign on, this could be really big.
It'll put our little piggy and the Virginia Commonwealth
In their proper place on the history, the history book shelf.
Pardon Ginny
Ginny the pig
Pardon Ginny
Ginny the pig
