Hand For The Hog – Roger Miller
"Well I always heard, I ain`t too sure
That a man`s best friend is a mangy cur
I kinda favor the hog myself,
How `bout a hand for the hog?
Say a hog ain`t nothin` but a porky thing
Little forked feet with a nosey ring
Pickle them feet folks,
How about a hand for the hog?
If you took a notion I bet
A good hog would make a hell of a pet
You could teach him to ride and hunt
You could clean him up and let him sit up front
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo
In the scheme of things, the way things go,
You might get bit by the ole Fido
But not that gentle porker friend
How `bout a hand for the hog?
A feller an` a hog had a comedy act
The feller was terrible as a matter of fact
That hog was a funny sucker, though
How about a hand for the hog?
If you took a notion I`ll bet
You could teach a hog to smoke a cigarette
Well it might take a little bit a time,
but hell, what`t time to a hog? ha
[ fiddle ]
Well the way I see it, it looks like this,
Either you ain`t or either you is
A true blue lover of the swine folks.
How about a hand for the hog?
Do-do-lit, do-do-lit, Do-do-lit, do-do-lit,..."
