Artist: Tom Waits Album: Mule Variations (1999) Title: Filipino Box Spring Hog
Lyrics Filipino Box Spring HogWell 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, gave him a yell
Kehoe spiked the nog
With a chain link fence
And a scrap iron jaw
Cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Spider rode in from
Hollister Burn
With a one-eyed stolen Mare
Donned himself with chicken fat
Sawin on a jaw bone violin there
Kathleen was sitting down
In little reds recovery room
In her criminal underwire bra
I was naked to the waist
With my fierce black hound
And I'm cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
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
Slap that hog
Gotta roll em over twice
Baste him with a sweeping broom
You gotta swat them flies
And chain up the dogs
Cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Cooking up a Filipino Box Spring Hog
Rattlesnake piccata with grapes and figs
Old brown Betty with a yellow wig
Tain't the mince meat filagree
And it ain't 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 to thrown to the dogs
Jaheseus Christ I can always
Make room when they're
