I've always been friends with Porky,

Though no-one else can see

His piggy head and boyish arms

He's always been there for me.

My parents just pretend

To set his table place

And give him a glass of water

And let him my dinner taste.

Porky came on holiday,

We took the ferry over

To England one week,

I think we went to Dover.

We spent the week there happily

The four of us having fun,

Having a look around

And playing in the sun.

One day we passed a gypsy woman,

Crystal ball, black hair,

Her face went pale, her smile faded,

Followed us with a cold stare.

All of a sudden she began to scream

And got up off her seat,

'There's a demon with that child

The body of a man, face of a pig!'

No-one'd ever been able to see Porky

No-one, only me,

And I'd never met the gypsy before

It was quite a mystery.

Porky looked quite perplexed

As we got ready to cross the sea

And as I looked in his red eyes

I knew he had to leave.

Mum and Dad saw me looking back

As Porky waved from the beach,

Porky, my imaginary friend

The demon with the head of a pig.
