Pork an' Beans an' Apple pie! Doughnuts, Swagen, By Gor-ri! We'll hit Great Pond By an' by! I am but a river hog, River hog, river hog! I am but a river hog Hoofin' it to Great Pond! Ellsworth is a meachin' town, Sick'em town, lick'em town, Ellsworth is a meachin' town, Ring-a-round-a-rosy! Ellsworth has a pretty pound, Pretty pound, pretty pound, Ellsworth has a pretty pound -- Pin on me a posy! Waltham has no use for us, Use for us, use for us; Waltham has no use for us When our heads are groggy! They wun't give us feather beds, Feather beds, feather beds; They wun't give us feather beds -- No, we bunk with hoggy! K-J he don't give a damn, Give a damn, give a damn; K-J he don't give a damn If in hell we're seated! Great Pond's miles an' miles away, Miles away, miles away; Great Pond's miles an' miles away But the soup is heated! K-J's waitin' there for us, There for us, there for us; K-J's waitin' there for us -- He's a damn good-fellow! K-J makes us pick our shirts, Pick our shirts, pick our shirts, K-J makes us pick our shirts -- Makes us work O hell-o! I am but a river hog, River hog, river hog, I am but a river hog Hoofin' it to Great Pond! Pork an' Beans an' Apple pie! Doughnuts, Swagen. By Gor-ri! We'll hit Great Pond By an' by! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TRUFFLE PIGS by WILLIAM MATTHEWS PHOTO OF THE AUTHOR WITH A FAVORITE PIG by WILLIAM MATTHEWS PHILOSOPHER ORDERS CRISPY PORK by HEATHER MCHUGH SONGS OF THE TRANSFORMED: PIG SONG by MARGARET ATWOOD WE HAD SEEN A PIG by MARVIN BELL A WITCH'S DAUGHTER AND A COBBLER'S SON by WINIFRED VIRGINIA JACKSON |
