Shimke Khazer: Simon the pig was Istanbul bound / He wanted to get away / He wanted to make his life better / But he got stabbed by a foreigner's knife / Simon the pig never thought /
that his body would end up 6 feet under Istanbul earth / He wanted to make his luck better / But he ended up in the morning papers
