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.]
