Pot Bellied Swine
words and music by Cate Doefer and Tim Foley
chord pattern verses: (F#) (E) (B) (F#)
Off beat love in a beat off world
pot bellied swine plopped in front a pearl
It aint romance
what he’s got in his pants
staring out the window in a nicotine trance
carbon copy hypocrite with smut on his mind
chewin juicy fruit and then spittin out the rind
just the latest craze
whispering cheap cliches
driving down the parkway pickin up the strays
refrain:
(B) "boys will be boys" she always said
(F#) out the door with a nickel and a pat on the head
(B) a good woman will put him right
(E) maybe if he's lucky he'll (B) just find one tonight (resume pattern)
(possible bridge) Change his face like he needs to change his sweater
stains in his pits and he's only getting wetter
aİgood woman would be good
It should be understood
But a bad oneİwould be even better
check the little chippy with the low ridin shorts
got him sweatin round the collar and feelin out of sorts
he swallows and he spits
into his greasy mitts
another sleazy weasel just cruisin the pits
did he even notice when he crossed the line
happy little citizen just doing his time
now you’re on the streets
checkin out the treats
another messy sweatmeat that the city excretes
repeat refrain 2x
Lyrics March-July 2004. Music July 2004.
