Rap Sheet

Yo, my name is Piggy, I like to get jiggy,
My butt is biggy, my belly is jiggly,
My tail is wiggly, and my rhymes are giggly.
I speak about my figure-atively,

Yeah, they call me Piggy Bank,
Buster Rhymes, The Tank,
I play in the mud,
so sometimes I'm kind of rank,
And when I act up, you bet I get a spank.
Please refill that waterbowl that I just drank.
My rap it is so dank,
Turn up the volume, let it crank.
Yo, know this ain't no prank.
When I got dumped, my heart it just sank,
Sign the form, fill in the blank,
Please adopt me so I don't go to the clank.
Or worse, have to walk the plank.

That would mean "adios, amigos, vaya con dios," curtains for me,
Bye-bye Piggy, that's plain to see.
So listen to my plea, I don't got no flea,
And will work for free doing top-notch security, Cause I'm a really good guard doggie.

So if you will agree to the adoption fee,
And all other things that are nec-e-sar-ee,
Take me out when I have to pee-pee,
Then this little Piggy goes wee-wee-wee,
All the way home with his new hom-ee.

If you believe in miracles that pigs can really fly, Then I'm definitely your go-to guy.
I will never, ever, ever tell a lie,
So please, please, please give me a try.
I'll be your loyal friend 'til the day I die.
I can stop wondering, "What? Why?"
And no longer will I cry,
Because my old family had to say good-bye.

If you give me a fresh start,
then you will play a part,
In healing my broken heart.
Come see me and the gang at PetSmart.

There, I said it, you won't regret it,
So good day, God bless.
P.S.S. Don't forget to pick up after my mess.

Signed, Piggy Bank, The Tank,
Master of the Dank.
