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!
