"Hand For The Hog" lyrics

Hand For The Hog

Well they tell me but I can't be sure
A man's best friend is a mangy cur
I kinda favor the hog myself
How about a hand for the hog

You say a hog ain't nothing 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'll 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

A feller and a hog had a comedy act
The feller was terrible as a matter of fact
But that hog was a funny sucker
How about a hand for the hog

Well I've looked at it and it looks like this
Either you ain't or either you is
A true blue fan of the swine folks
How about a hand for the hog

Well I've seen dogs that will howl and bark
For no more reason than a moonless dark
And a hog won't rattle your sleep folks
How about a hand for the hog

Well 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's time to a hog
Ha ha ha

Well I once saw a hog with a small tattoo
It read I reckon I do I do
And he did to right there in front of me
How about a hand for the hog
