HOT DOG (McAllister-Eason) As recorded by Leon Eason with Red Lincoln’s Madcaps, on Whirlaway 75-3, 1948.
(Hot dog!) Ain’t they very good? (Hot dog!) Get twelve if I could. (Hot dog!) They taste like chicken stew, With the mustard and the relish and the pickles too. (Hot dog!) Put one in the pot. (Hot dog!) Kill it when it good and hot. (Hot dog!) They taste like chicken stew, With the mustard and the relish and the pickles too. I want soda, Nice an’ col’-a. I don’t want vanilla, lemon, or lime— Anything I can get for a dime. (Hot dog!) Fit for king and queen. (Hot dog!) Yes, they are supreme. (Hot dog!) They taste like chicken stew, With the mustard and the relish and the pickles too.
Gi’ me one. Gi’ me two. Gi’ me one, two, three, four. Last hot dog!
