Porcupine pie, porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Vanilla soup, a double scoop please
No, maybe I want, maybe I won’t, maybe I will
The tutti fruit
With fruity blue cheese

Ah, but porcupine pie,
Porcupine pie, porcupine pie
Don’t let it get on your jeans
And though it sounds a little strange
But you got to eat it with gloves
Or your hands will turn green

Ah, but porcupine pie,
Porcupine pie, porcupine pie
It weaves its way through my dreams
And I do believe
I’m gonna get one
And leave enough room for dessert
Chicken ripple ice cream
