Welcome to Javalinaville

04 June 2024 • by Bob • Arizona, Humor

Javalinas are a nuisance in my neighborhood because they knock over people's trash bins and scatter garbage through the streets, and this is especially true when people wheel their cans out to the curb a tad bit early (as I often do). After a recent peccary rampage through our residential rubbish, one of my neighbors quipped "Welcome to Javalinaville," which served as the impetus for the following parody that is sung to the tune of Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville."

Nibblin' on nightshade,
Watchin' the moon fade,
See all these swines
That are covered with spines.
I look in the alley,
That place is a galley,
Smell the debris
As they're startin' to dine.

Wastin' away again in Javalinaville,
Searchin' for any refuse they can find.
Some people claim
That there's a trash bin to blame,
But I know, it's my own dang fault.

I know the reason,
They've stayed here all season,
Our neighborhood's filled
With a bundle of bins.
Now here's some real beauties,
A pack of Tucson cuties,
How they dance in the trash,
What a sin.

Wastin' away again in Javalinaville,
Searchin' for any refuse they can find.
Some people claim
That there's a trash bin to blame,
But I know, it's my own dang fault.
