[A] [E]
[N] I hung on to Mary's stump, I danced with a soldier's knee.
Bill Rumsow [F#] cookin' a big fat lamb, I spent my last dollar on knee.
I saw Bill Bones, I gave him a yell.
Keyhole spiked a [E] knob, with a chain-link [B] fence and a scrap iron jaw.
Cookin' up a Filipina [G] box spring [E] hog.
Cookin' up a [G#] Filipina box spring hog.
[E] Cookin' up a Filipina box spring [G#] hog.
[F#] Siderolled him from a harvester burn, on a [B] wide-spolin' mare.
[E] Spawned himself with a chicken fat, [F#] spawned on a [B] jawbone-filed embear.
Kathleen was sittin' down Little Red Recovery [E] Road, in a criminal [A#] [F#] rummageware brawl.
I was naked to the [G#] waist with my fierce black eyes.
And I'm [N] cookin' up a Filipina box spring hog.
Cookin' up a Filipina box spring [E] hog.
Cookin' up a Filipina box spring hog.
[B] Take a pig, sell it to Dead Alley Road.
[D] Fill it with madrone and [F#] glee.
Shits like kale in the neighbor's dump plate.
Don't give a who what they say.
Gotta stop [A] [C#] rollin' over tight.
Gotta vision with a [D] sweet-lit fruit.
Gotta swap them flies, the chain of [F#] the dog.
Cookin' up a Filipina box spring hog.
Cookin' up a [E] Filipina box spring hog.
Cookin' up a Filipina box spring [G#m] hog.
[C#] Brown [F#] steak piccato with grape sap in.
[E] Old brown belly [F#] with a yellow ring.
Tamed the minced beef filigree.
And it ain't the [D] turkey neck stew.
[E] And it ain't them [N] brulee old crusties.
No, she made them especial for you.
Rice on a pie or a bottom black pie.
The beef got strong, you the dog.
[C] Jay-Z of crime, I can always make room.
Cookin' up [B] a Filipina box spring hog.
Cookin' up [C#] a Filipina box spring [C] hog.
Cookin' up [E] a Filipina box spring hog.
Cookin' up a Filipina box spring hog.
[Em]
