Captain Beefheart & His Magic Band — China Pig

[Chorus] I don't want to kill my China pig, no I don't [Verse 1] A man's gotta live A man's gotta eat A man's gotta have shoes To walk out on the street [Chorus] I don't want to kill my China pig Ah, he was a baby, I want you to see I don't want to kill my China pig [Verse 2] Well I used to go to school With a little red box And I used to have my pig go with me We walked for blocks [Chorus] I don't want to kill my China pig [Verse 3] His tail curls five times In a circle 'round, ha It's glazed He's got a slot in his back Flowers grow My China pig be a Quite a show [Chorus] I don't wanna kill my China pig, oh no, ah [Bridge] My China pig [Verse 4] I got him by the snout And I takes him by the cuff And I whipped out my fork And I poked at him Three hairs laid Out on my floor I remember my China pig [Verse 5] I fed the neighborhood We lived in a big neighborhood A lot of people liked my pig... One little girl used to put her fingers in his snout I put a fork in his back! [Chorus] I didn't want to kill my China pig
