CINCINNATI DANCING PIG
Words by Al Lewis; music by Guy Wood.
As recorded by Red Foley, 1950.

Cincinnati's dancin' pig,
He's the barnyard mister big:
Cincinnati's dancin' pig,
With his riggity jiggity jiggity jig jig-a-jig jig.
Children yell and clap and sing
When he does his buck and wing:
Cincinnati's dancin' pig,
With his riggity jiggity jiggity jig jig-a-jig jig.
Dancin' bears and kangaroos
Have a lot on the ball.
But until you've seen that remarkable pig,
You ain't-a seen-a nothin' at all.
From Duluth to Birmingham, (sooey!)
He's the pork-chop dapper Dan.
He's the keenest hog what am:
Cincinnati's dancin' pig
With his riggity-jiggity-jig-jig-jig.

[REPEAT, SUBSTITUTING FOR THE LAST LINE:]
With his riggity—with his jiggity—jig-jig-jig.


[I also found recordings by Tennessee Ernie Ford and Vic Damone.]
