TOM WAITS 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
