Roger Miller — Hand For the Hog

[Tom Sawyer] Well I always heard, but I ain't too sure That a man's best friend is a mangey 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 fork-ed feet with a nosey ring Pickle them feet, folks How 'bout a hand for the hog? If you took the notion, I bet A good hog would make a helluva pet You could teach him to ride and hunt You could clean him up and let him sit up front Di-di-de, di-di-de, di-di-de, di-di-de doo In the scheme of things, the way things go You might get bit by the old Fido But not that gentle porker friend How 'bout a hand for the hog? Fella and a hog had a comedy act Fella was terrible, as a matter of fact That hog was a funny sucker, though How 'bout a hand for the hog? If you took the notion, I bet You could teach a hog to smoke a cigarette Well it might take a little bit of time But, hell, what's time to a hog? 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 'bout a hand for the hog? Diddle-lit, diddle-lit, diddle-lit, diddle-lit Do-do-do-do-doo Thank you!
