FILIPINO BOX SPRING HOG CHORDS

[Start]

[Verse]
E                          
 I hung on to Mary's stump
  E                           
I danced with a soldier's glee
                             E            
With a rumsoaked crook and a big fat laugh
                E             
I spent my last dollar on thee
                   E              
I saw Bill Bones I gave him a yell
                 E  
Kehoe spiked the nog
                             E            
With a chainlink fence and a scrapiron jaw


[Chorus]
                      E             
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
E                                   
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
E                                   
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog


[Verse]
E                                   
Spider rolled in from Hollister Burn
     E                    
With a oneeyed stolen mare
E                              
Donned himself with chicken fat
E                               
Sawin' on a jawbone violin there
                                          E            
Kathleen was sittin' down in little Red's Recovery Room
                          E  
In her criminal underwear bra
                                 E                 
I was naked to the waist with my fierce black hound
        E                                   
And I'm cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
E                                   
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
E                                   
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog


[Chorus]
          E                       
Dig a big pit in a dirt alley road
             E              
Fill it with madrone and bay
            E                              
Stinks like hell and the neighbors complain
             E                 
Don't give a hoot what they say
      E                                
Gotta slap that hog roll him over twice
                                E    
Gotta baste him with a sweeping broom
                    E                          
You gotta swat them flies and chain up the dogs
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog


[Verse]
            E                           
Rattlesnake piccata with grapes and figs
          E                      
Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
            E                  
T'ain't the mince meat filagree
                             E   
And it ain't the turkey neck stew


[Chorus]
                  E                 
And it ain't them bruleed okra seeds
                     E                 
Though she made them especially for you
                                       E  
Worse won a prize for her bottom black pie
                            E  
The beans got thrown to the dog
        E                            
Jahesus Christ I can always make room
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
           E                        
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
             E                      
Cookin' up a Filipino box spring hog
