Tom Waits — Filipino Box Spring Hog

Текст песни: Filipino Box Spring Hog

[Verse 1]
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, I gave him a yell
Kehoe spiked the nog
With a chainlink fence
And a scrap-iron jaw

[Chorus]
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

[Verse 2]
Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn
With a one-eyed stolen Mare
Donned himself with chicken fat
Sawin' on a jawbone violin there
Kathleen was sittin' down
In little Red's Recovery Room
In her criminal underwear bra
I was naked to the waist
With my fierce black hound
[Chorus]
And I'm cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

[Verse 3]
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
Gotta slap that hog, roll him over twice
Gotta baste him with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies and chain up the dogs

[Chorus]
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

[Verse 4]
Rattlesnake piccata with grapes and figs
Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
T'ain'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 thrown to the dog
Jahesus Christ, I can always make room
[Chorus]
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog

Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cookin' up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
