The Keeper of the Margarita
Pig Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Get down, get out of my way
Don't do what I do, do what I say
Get down, shut up, get out of my way
Don't do what I do, do what I say
I'm the keeper of the margarita
A little peep at the gate and the reaper
I leap like a salmon and I peel a lemon
My thirsty, greedy new found friend
Drink with me, just like!
My thirsty, greedy new found friend
Drink with me unitl I die
Get down, shut up, get out of my way
Don't do what I do, do what I say




Get down, shut up, get out of my way
Don't do what I do, do what I say
