"You can do it a sheep if you lead it astray,
or with a chicken, just part of the way
With a lion if you have that much pride
or with an elephant, if you're rather wide.
You can with a grizzly if you give him a hug
or with a bullfrog if you give him a bug
with a giraffe you can stand on a chair,
but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all
The hedgehog can never be buggered at all,
buggered at all, buggered at all!
You can do it with a hen cos an egg'll fit in
or with a worm if you're pointy and thin
With a snake if you're incredibly long
with a gorilla if you're really that strong
with a boa constrictor if he's your main squeeze
with a big German Shepherd if you don't mind the fleas
You can with a snail, if you slow to a crawl
but the Hedgehog can never be buggered at all!
With a cow if you're feeling in udder disgrace
With an alligator if you like toothy grins on your face
With a bat if you're gifted with wings
with a magpie if you like shiny things
With a cheetah if you love rather fast
A donkey if you like a good old kick in the ass...
With an octopus if suction is your game
but the hedgehog can never be buggered at all!"
Have you ever heard this song?
I you haven't, just read " Witches Abroad" by Terry Pratchett. You'll love it (a song, and a book, of course).
Well...
I spent huge part of this day thinking about etymology of word "hedgehog". Could someone explain it to me? I know what means "hedge" and "hog" but when I think about a hog who has hedge on back or something like this, I just have to laugh
Well, maybe I'm a little bit mad, but I HAVE TO know why hedgehog is called hedgehog!
