Filipino Box Spring Hog Lyrics by Tom Waits

Filipino Box Spring Hog Lyrics

    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
