FILIPINO BOX SPRING HOG
I hung on to Mary's stump, I danced with a soldier's glee
With a rum soaked crook, And a big fat laugh, I spent my last dollar on thee
I saw Bill Bones, I gave him a yell, Kehoe spiked the nog
With a chain link fence, And a scrap iron jaw, Cookin up a Filipino Box
Spring hog
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog
Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn on a one-eyed stolen mare
Donned himself with chicken fat, Sawin on a jawbone violin there
Kathleen was sittin down in little red recovery room in her criminal
underwear bra, I was naked to the waist with my fierce black hound
And I'm cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road fill it with madrone and bay
Stinks like hell and the neighbors complain, Don't give a hoot what they say
Ya gotta slap that hog, Roll 'em over twice, Gotta baste it with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies, And chain up the dogs, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring hog
Rattle snake piccata with grapes and figs, Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
Tain't the mince meat filagree, And it ain't the turkey neck stew
And it ain't them bruleed okra seeds, Though she made them especial for you
Worse won a prize for her bottom black pie the beans got to thrown to the
dogs
Jaheseus Christ I can always make room, When they're cookin up a Filipino
Box Spring Hog
Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog, Cookin up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
