China Pig Lyrics
I don't wanna' kill,
my china pig,
I don't wanna' kill,
my china pig.
Man's gotta live,
man's gotta eat,
man's gotta have shoes for walkin'
on his feet[?].
I don't wanna kill,
my china pig.
Used to go to school,
with my little red box
Used to have a dog with me,
we'd walk for blocks.
I don't wanna kill,
my china pig,
don't wanna kill,
my china pig.
my china pig,
I don't wanna' kill,
my china pig.
man's gotta eat,
man's gotta have shoes for walkin'
on his feet[?].
my china pig.
with my little red box
Used to have a dog with me,
we'd walk for blocks.
my china pig,
don't wanna kill,
my china pig.

In the begining of Let's Build a Home, there is a little kid who sings a song called Little Red Box, and in the song A Boy's Best Friend, Jack writes about dogs, allusions both in the third verse
This is a cover of Captain Beefheart's China Pig, great song.
wow, didnt know they covered this. i was looking for the Beefheart version. I only heard Trout Mask Replica a couple weeks ago and now i'm hooked on it. what a masterpiece! i think i will check out the white stripes version as well.
5 years too late, I must say the little boy on 'Lets Build A Home' was actually a recording of Jack when he was little, with his mum and older brother. It was supposed to be 'I wish I had a little red box to put the devil in/I'd put him in and smash smash smash/ and never let him out again'
But yes this is a Beefheart cover. Don't really understand what it's about but it's good anyway
