Hand For The Hog Lyrics

Well I always heard, I ain't too sure
That a man's best friend is a mangy 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 forked feet with a nosey ring
Pickle them feet folks,
How about a hand for the hog?

If you took a notion I 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
Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-doo

In the scheme of things, the way things go,
You might get bit by the ole Fido
But not that gentle porker friend
How 'bout a hand for the hog?

A feller an' a hog had a comedy act
The feller was terrible as a matter of fact
That hog was a funny sucker, thoughRoger Miller - Hand For The Hog - http://motolyrics.com/roger-miller/hand-for-the-hog-lyrics.html
How about a hand for the hog?

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't time to a hog? ha

Well 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 about a hand for the hog?
Do-do-lit, do-do-lit, Do-do-lit, do-do-lit,...

NOT IN MY ORIGINAL CAST RECORDING:
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't 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
