I don't wanna kill my china pig

No I don't

Uh man's gotta live,

Uh man's gotta eat

Uh man's gotta have shoes t' walk out on the street

I don't wanna kill my china pig

E11 he was uh baby I want yuh t' see

I don't wanna kill my china pig

Well I used t' go t' school

With uh' little red box

'n I used to have m' pig go with me

We walked for blocks

I don't wanna kill my china pig

His tail curled five times in uh circle round

It's glazed

He's got uh slot in his back flowers grow

My china pig be uh quite uh show

I don't wanna kill m' china pig

Woe no

My china pig

I got him by the snout

'n I takes him by the cuff

'n I whipped out m' fork

'n I poked at um

Three hairs laid out on m' floor

I remember my china pig

I fed the neighborhood

It was uh big neighborhood

Uh lot uh people liked my pig

One little girl used t' put her fingers in his snout

I put uh fork in his back

I didn't wanna kill my china pig

Owing to the cordition of the players and the environment of the

recording, certain portions are inaudible, thus we can only guess

at the real meaning
