The shrinking world. Our visit to the remotest jungle finds only people who want to be like us

lyrics

In the Garden of the Long Pig

Welcome to my world , oh won’t you come enjoy the view
Come and see the natives eat primaeval stew
Come and do the dances only you can do

Coming down from New York it only takes a couple of hours
And then you’ve got to take a boat and sail upriver from Manaus
Come and see the last surviving real grass house

Well we’ve got birds and we’ve got trees but as you see it’s mostly black
We’ve got McDonald’s, Disneyland and superhighways of tarmac
Me, I got a Nissan parked around back

Before you came, before we knew we had nothing to confess
You gave us guilt and influenza, God and Sunday best
Just another long pig, meaner than the rest

Living in the garden
Of the long pig
Living in the garden
Of the very long……
