Thanks Deadhorse I'll try that sight this evening. Thank you also those of you who gave variations on the Coasters Lyrics, I am specifically looking for the french verses though. I've got a bunch of english ones.

Yeah. I'm willing to bet the old guy never sang it the same way twice.

That last line of the chorus might alternately sung as,

You're the only one I'm dreamin' of.

On a related note, I don't think that it's paticularly necessary to follow word for word in a song of this very suggestive nature. It's a fun song. So I think you should have fun with it when you sing it. Alter it as I suggested in the last verse, or as much as you've a mind to, or make up some of your own verses. Go wild and crazy!

wild and wacky weg

The 2nd line after "im a hog for you baby" is
"i'm gonna root all around your door".
I'll go listen to it, & see if i can make out anything else - LOVE Clifton (I saw him in person long ago at the late lamented "Inn of the Beginning" in Cotati, CAlif.

Submitted for your approval, picture if you will, aging hipsters playing outdated material on antiquated instruments, hopelessly lost in the acoustic zone. I think the Seigel Schwall Band recorded this one.

(chorus)
I'm a hog for you baby.
I can't get enough of your love.
I'm a hog for you baby.
I can't get enough of your love.
When I go to sleep at night,
You're the only thing I'm thinkin' of.

The first little piggy had pizza.
The second piggy ate potato chips.
But this little piggy's comin' over your house,
He gonna nibble on your sweet lips.

(chorus)

The first little piggy went to London.
The second piggy went to Paris France.
But this little piggy's comin' over your house,
He's gonna jump right into your pants.

(chorus)

The first little piggy went to (for fun name a place of your choice).
The second piggy went to Hong Kong.
But this little piggy's comin' over your house,
He's gonna rock you all night long.

(chorus)

I was afraid that was the response I was going to get. Thanks for the effort.

I just gave it another listen. You'd better hope they're written down somewhere. That probably isn't transcribable.

Would anyone be willing to take a stab at writing out Clifton Cheniers french words to I'm a hog for you baby. I don't quite understand the creole, but I don't think it's a translation of the English.
Thanks
