China Pig Lyrics - Trout Mask Replica - Captain Beefheart

I don't want to kill my China pig 

No I don't 

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 

Eli, 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 

It's glazed 

He's got a slot in his back, flowers grow 

My China pig be a, quite a show 

I don't want to kill my China pig 

Woe, no 

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 

It was 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
