The Warthog (The Hog Beneath The Skin) - Flanders & Swann[00:00:00]

The Jungle was giving a party[00:00:44]

A post hibernation ball[00:00:46]

The Ballroom was crowded with waltzing Gazelles Gorillas and Zebras and all [00:00:50]

But who is that animal almost in tears[00:01:00]

Pretending to powder her nose [00:01:04]

A poor little Warthog who sits by herself[00:01:07]

In a pink satin with blue bows [00:01:12]

Again she is no-body's choice and she sings in a sad little voice:[00:01:16]

No one ever wants to court a Warthog[00:01:24]

Though a Warthog does her best[00:01:29]

I've spent a lot of money for a Warthog[00:01:32]

I am perfumed and prettily dressed[00:01:36]

I've lustrinsed my hair[00:01:39]

I'm perfumed here and there[00:01:42]

My gums were tinted when I brushed my teeth[00:01:44]

I'm young and in my prime[00:01:48]

But a wallflower all the time[00:01:51]

'Cos I'm a Warthog[00:01:53]

Just a Warthog[00:01:55]

I'm a Warthog underneath[00:01:57]

Take your partners for a ladies Excuse me [00:02:02]

Excited and radiant she runs on the floor[00:02:06]

To join the furor and fuss [00:02:10]

She taps on each shoulder and says 'Excuse me '[00:02:12]

And each couple replied 'Excuse us '[00:02:16]

Then having no manners at all[00:02:20]

They sing as they dance round the hall:[00:02:22]

'No one ever wants to court a Warthog[00:02:26]

Though a Warthog does her best[00:02:29]

Her accessories are dazzling for a Warthog[00:02:32]

She is perfumed and daringly dressed[00:02:36]

We know her these and those are like Marilyn Monroe's[00:02:39]

Her gown is just a scintillating sheath[00:02:43]

But she somehow fails to please[00:02:47]

'Cos everybody sees she's a Warthog[00:02:51]

Just a Warthog[00:02:54]

She's a Warthog underneath'[00:02:56]

Head hanging she wanders away from the floor[00:03:02]

This Warthog whom nobody loves[00:03:07]

Then stops in amazement[00:03:11]

For there at the door stands a gentleman Warthog impeccably dressed[00:03:13]

In the act of removing his gloves [00:03:19]

His fine chiseled face seems to frown[00:03:23]

As he looks her first up then down[00:03:28]

'I fancy you must be a sort of Warthog[00:03:33]

Though for a Warthog you look a mess[00:03:37]

That make-up's far to heavy for a Warthog;;[00:03:40]

You could have chosen a more suitable dress[00:03:43]

Did you have to dye your hair [00:03:47]

If that's perfume give me air [00:03:48]

I strongly disapprove of scarlet teeth[00:03:50]

But let us take the floor[00:03:54]

'Cause I'm absolutely sure[00:03:57]

That you're a Warthog[00:03:59]

Just a Warthog[00:04:00]

The sweetest little [00:04:02]

Neatest little[00:04:03]

Dearest and completest little[00:04:04]

Warthog underneath'[00:04:06]
