I cannot draw a perfect pig
     But what is that to me?
Imperfect pigs do just as well
     Since Pigs is Pigs, you see.

Pigs is Pigs in China
     And Pigs is Pigs in Cork
But Pigs Ain't Pigs in frying pans
     Because there Pigs is Pork.
First published at the end of a story called "Pigs is Pigs" in American Magazine, September, 1905
