Cincinnati dancin' pig!
Cincinnati dancin' pig!

Cincinnati dancing pig,
He's the barnyard Mister Big!
Cincinnati dancing pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy jiggedy jig-a-jig-a-jig-jig!

Children yell and clap and sing
When he does his buck and wing.
Cincinnati dancing pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy jiggedy jig-a-jig-a-jig-jig!

Dancing bears and kangaroos
Have a lot of a ball,
But until you dig that remarkable pig,
You ain't seen nothin' at all!

From Duluth to Birmingham,
He's the pork chop Dapper Dan!
He's the keenest ham what am,
Cincinnati dancing pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy  jig-jig-jig!

Cincinnati dancin' pig,
He's the pig with the jig-jig-jig!

Cin-Cincinnati, the dancin' pig,
He's the barnyard Mister Big!
Cincinnati dancin' pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy jiggedy jig-a-jig-a-jig-jig!

All the kids just yell and swing, yeah!
When he does his buck and wing.
Cincinnati dancin' pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy jiggedy jig-a-jig-a-jig-jig!

Dancin' bears and kangaroos
Have a lot of a ball,
But until you dig that remarkable pig,
You ain't seen nothin' at all!

From Duluth to Birmingham,
He's the pork chop Dapper Dan!
He's the keenest ham what am,
Cincinnati dancin' pig,
With his riggedy jiggedy jiggedy jiggedy, riggedy jiggedy dah!
