Archibald teaches everyone about the history of wigs.
Lyrics
The Announcer: And now it's time for an installment in the History of Fashion with Archibald. The part of the show where Archibald comes out and shares a lesson in the history of fashion.
Archibald: In the olden days, the biggest craze
With the folks who lived back then
Of the bourgeoisie, an accessory
For the women and the men
Not pants or shirt, nor blouse or skirt, or anything made from thread
But woven hair from horse or bear
Situated on the head
Blueberry: Our astonishing wigs
Jimmy: They're enormously big
Lunt: We love our astonishing wigs
All three: Astonishing wigs (2x)
Do you like our astonishing wigs?
Archibald: From most famous queens of greatest means to the lowly duchess fair
Ran a common thread upon the head for those unhappy with their hair
Now you can bet that even pets and livestock would confer
So wigs they took to improve the look of their bristles and their fur
(The Three Pigs come in)
Pig 2: Our astonishing wigs
Pig 1: They're enormously big
Pig 3: We love our astonishing wigs
All three: Astonishing wigs (2x)
Do you like our astonishing wigs?
(Pig 1 oinks)
We are the pigs in wigs
Yes our locks are very big
And we squeal without a care in our artificial hair
Pig 1: Our hearts are most enthralled
Pig 2: Since pigs like us our bald
All three: So we'll sing and we'll smile and we'll proudly flaunt the style of our astonishing wigs
(Pig 2 oinks)
Archibald: And so it's said this fashion spread from the lofty to the low
From prince to pig, the look was big and continued thus to grow
Hence girls and boys would dress their toys in manufactured mops
Then bushes and trees soon too would see small wigs upon the tops
Ha!
Blueberry: Our astonishing wigs
Jimmy: They're enormously big
Lunt: We love our astonishing wigs
(The Three Pigs come in)
All six: Astonishing wigs (2x)
Do you like our astonishing wigs?
(Pig 2 oinks)
Blueberry and Jimmy: These are our twigs in wigs
Jimmy and Lunt: Yes their locks are very big
Three Pigs: And they dance without a care in their artifical hair
Jimmy: We don't panic
Lunt: If their hair gets problematic
Blueberry: We just sit back and smile
Pig 2: For the fabricated style
Blueberry, Jimmy, and Lunt: Of our...
All six: Of our...
(Archibald joins in)
All: Astonishing wigs (Pigs repeat the chorus)
(music ends with Pig 2 oinking, then Larry shows up)
Larry: So you think I'M silly?
Archibald: Well..., yes.
The Announcer: This has been an installment in the History of Fashion with Archibald. Tune in next time to hear Archibald say...
Archibald: So then, after awhile wigs went out of fashion and everyone turned to bell bottoms.
(The Three Pigs have bells attached to their tails, and ringing them)
Larry: Oh, brother...
Chorus: Our astonishing wigs
