I'm as happy, I'm as happy as I can get
I'm sittin' pretty, as pretty as I can sit
I got me a Singer, I like to use allot
Ain't what you're missin', It's what you got

High on the hog, hey hey
High on the hog
Me and my baby and this old mangy dog
Doin' alright livin' high on the hog

Got an old Cadillac, it's a ‘71
Ain't too pretty now, sometimes it runs
I got a new TV set I picked up last night
Gets two colors, black and white

High on the hog, hey hey
High on the hog
Me and my baby and this old mangy dog
Doin' alright livin' high on the hog

Mamas in the kitchen, cookin' up some beans
Gunna fix me a meal now, fit for a king
I'm so lucky sometimes I got to laugh
No doubt about it now, she's my better half

High on the hog, hey hey
High on the hog
Me and my woman and this old mangy dog
Doin' alright livin', high on the hog

When you see me smilin', don't you wonder why
I don't need too much to get by
High on the hog, hey hey
High on the hog
Me and my baby and this old mangy dog
Doin' alright livin' high on the hog
