There's my field, there's my cattle, there's my men He want his ham hocks hot And his lemonade cold Don't want to hear no lip Just do what you told Pluck them chickens Scrub them pots and pans You gonna churn that butter 'Til it cramp your hands If you think hard work Been doggin' you before Hunh! Get ready for the big dog! This my house Fix that Work! Broken window 'fore the Work! Rain come in You got to Work! Kill that rat with this here Work! Rollin' pin Mop this floor Pick up all this mess You know that Cleanliness next to Cleanliness next to Godliness Godliness If you think hard work Been doggin' you before Get ready for the big dog! Huh! Sweep dis barn Nettie go to the Milk dat cow Schoolhouse Water from da well Get her college degree Fields to plow Brush my horse Nettie teachin' the children Feed dat pig Tree to chop To spell Tennessee Ditch to dig Fetch dem eggs Pitch dat hay Patch the fence Won't be time for a garden So the billy don't stray Pull the turnips No birds gonna sing Hose the green Feed the baby goats Won't be time for my readin' 'Til the last one weans Get ready for the big dog! Work! Huh! Harpo! I dun told you 'bout this Get my belt! I'm gon' beat you clean to death, boy! No! Pa! Come here! When I lay me down to sleep I will say my prayer You spill your food on the floor, you gon' eat it off the floor, you little pig That God love me so deep He will promise our souls to keep Together Bedroom's upstairs I say a prayer He like his bath real hot Like it 'bout to boil You got to rub his feet With some liniment oil Shave his whiskers Hope it's understood That you best not cut him Or he beat you good If you think hard work been doggin' you before Get ready for the big dog! Hunh!
