The Midwife - Pig with the Face of a Boy

Babies!

Lovely babies!

A new born child is a miracle

And all the other midwives will agree

It’s the most amazing sight you’ll ever see

And though they come out bloody

And they all have funny hair

Let me tell you buddy

Why you’ll find me there:

I want to eat your placenta

You have what I want to eat

I fry it in garlic and butter

It comes out so tender and sweet

How can there be such a flavour

In meat that’s oh so lean?

Why don’t you come round for dinner?

Maybe you’ll see what I mean

Babies!

Pretty babies!

To see a birth is incredible

And every single day it warms my heart

Each time I get to watch a new life start

But if you catch me winking

As I’m begging you to push

Guess what I am thinking

As I’m staring at your bush:

I want to eat your placenta

Roast it with some rosemary and sage

The older the mother, the tougher the meat

But the flavour will develop with age

If you are having a party

Throw it on the barbecue

If you think that placenta would scare them

You can melt it away in a stew

I want to eat your placenta!

Make a marinade with chillis and some zest

All of my meals are delicious

But teenage mothers really are the best

Some people think that I’m crazy

But it’s worth it for the taste:

That’s why you’ll find me at nightfall

Going through the bins of human waste
