CAs I sat down to dinner
GJust the other day

GGot out of that shop
GIn one big hop
CAnd ran for my life
[Chorus]
CWell I'm the butcher boy
GI'm a lucky dog
GDoing the butcher boogie
CI'll never own a hog
CWhen I got up from the table
GTo the wall I made the door
GGrab my hat and ain't been back
CTo get those chops no more
CWell I'm the butcher boy
GI'm a lucky dog
GDoing the butcher boogie
CI'll never own a hog
[Outro]
GWell I'm the butcher boy
CI'll never own a hog
GWell I'm the butcher boy
CI'll never own a hog
