Oh the hog, the beautiful hog,
Curling his tail as he watches the dog,
Defying no law for his bread and meat,
As he roams around from street to
street;
HUnting and grunting and nosing around
Till the open gate is sure TO be found,
With its broken hinges, and ruined quite,
By the lovers hanging on i: sunday night.
II won't stay shut it won't stay level,
In walks the hog and raises the devil.
