[Captain Beefheart, His Magic Band - China Pig lyrics]
A man's gotta live a man's gotta eat
A man's gotta have shoes
To walk out on the street
I don't want to kill my China pig
Ah, he was a baby, I want you to see
I don't want to kill my China pig
Well I used to go to school
With a little red box
And I used to have my pig go with me
We walked for blocks
I don't want to kill my China pig
His tail curls five times
In a circle 'round, ha it's glazed
He's got a slot in his back flowers grow
My China pig be a quite a show
I don't wanna kill my China pig, oh no, ah
My China pig
I got him by the snout
And I takes him by the cuff
And I whipped out my fork and I poked at him
Three hairs laid out on my floor
I remember my China pig
I fed the neighborhood
We lived in a big neighborhood
A lot of people liked my pig
One little girl used to put
Her fingers in his snout
I put a fork in his back!
I didn't want to kill my China pig
