China Pig Lyrics

[Chorus]
I don't want to kill my China pig, no I don't

[Verse 1]
A man's gotta live
A man's gotta eat
A man's gotta have shoes
To walk out on the street

[Chorus]
I don't want to kill my China pig
Ah, he was a baby, I want you to see
I don't want to kill my China pig

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
I don't want to kill my China pig

[Verse 3]
His tail curls five times
In a circle 'round, ha
It's glazed
He's got a slot in his back
Flowers grow
My China pig be a
Quite a show

[Chorus]
I don't wanna kill my China pig, oh no, ah

[Bridge]
My China pig

[Verse 4]
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

[Verse 5]
I fed the neighborhood
We lived in 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!

[Chorus]
I didn't want to kill my China pig

I became a vegetarian because I couldn’t imagine biting an animal and spitting out the fur and eating the meat. I said, why should I bite an animal? But then why should I bite a vegetable, it’s the same thing. I eventually resigned myself to the fact that I had to eat something to survive.
