Lyrics

Filipino Box Spring Hog Well 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, 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 Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn With a one-eyed stolen Mare Donned himself with chicken fat Sawin on a jaw bone violin there Kathleen was sittin down In little reds 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 Slap that hog Gotta roll em over twice Baste him 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 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 especially 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
