Sam´s Last Boogie

A Última Balada do Sam

Sam´s Last Boogie

Havia flores dos porquinhos,There were flowers from the boy pigs,
Que estavam bebendo em seus barracos,Who were drinkin' in their barn digs,
Com ternos azul claro,In suits of powder blue,
E camisas de babados também,And ruffled shirts on too,
Tudo encomendado pelo correio.All ordered through the mail.
Era a noite do baile em PorcolândiaIt was prom night in Pig Town
Havia pernil em vestidos longos,There was hambones in long gowns,
Com cascos pintados,With painted cloven hooves,
Não havia necessidade de sapatos,There was no need for shoes,
Ou de bobes nas caudas.Or the curlers in their tails.
Casais tiravam fotos,Couples had their pictures taken,
Debaixo daquelas roupas, o calor era intenso,Under those clothes, the heat was bakin',
Eles fingiam estar de boa,They pretended to be cool,
Porque logo estariam fora da escola,'Cause they'd soon be out of school,
A noite das memórias.The night of memories.
Comiam barulhento, comida em pratos cheios,They ate with noise food by the plates full,
Mas na pista de dança, eram tão graciosos,But on the dance floor, they were so graceful,
Deslizavam sem se importar,They'd glide without a care,
Com os focinhos para o ar,Their snouts tucked in the air,
Era um espetáculo.It was a sight to see.
Depois da sobremesa, mergulharam por maçãs,After desserts they bobbed for apples,
Todos sabendo que logo poderiam ser linguiça,All knowing soon they could be scrapple,
Outro alimento processado,Another packaged processed food,
Não tinham atitude,They bore no attitude,
Nem rancor contra o mundo.Or grudge against the world.
A rainha do baile dançava bem devagar,The prom queen was dancing real slow,
Com sua bolsa de seda e seu orgulhoso par,With her silk purse and her proud beau,
Grunhindo baixo e suave,Oinking low and soft,
Eles saíram discretamenteThey quietly slipped off
Com seu novo colar de pérolas.With her new string of pearls.
Todos saíram em números pares,They all left in even numbers,
Alguns para encontrar amor, outros para encontrar sono;Some to find love, some to find slumber;
E alguns ficaram acordados a noite toda,And some stayed up all night,
Para saudar a luz da manhã,To greet the morning light,
E alguns foram para a praia.And some went to the shore.
E depois disso, a turma se dispersaria,And after that the class would scatter,
