Big Blue Pict


Words: Padraig Ruad O'Maolagain
Tune: Big Blue Frog by Peter, Paul and Mary
Inspired by Polydore Pike

Well, I'm in love with a big blue Pict, a big blue Pict loves me
It's not as bad as it appears, he's painted blue as he can be

Well, I'm not worried about our kids, I know they'll turn out grand
They'll be great looking 'cause they'll have my face, great fighters 'cause they'll have his hands

Well, I'm in love with a big blue Pict, a big blue Pict loves me
It's not as bad as it appears, he's got a sword and axes three

Well, I know we can make things work, he's got good family sense
His mother was a Pict from northern Albia, his daddy was a Pictish prince

Well, I'm in love with a big blue Pict, a big blue Pict loves me
It's not as bad as it appears, he's the picture of barbarity

The neighbors are against it, and it's clear to me, it's probably clear to you
You might get your property burned right down, when the family next door is blue

Well, I'm in love with a big blue Pict, a big blue Pict loves me
I've got a tattoo in blue all over me that says P I C T
It's Pict for me, P… I… C… T…
