Frank De Lima - Going on a Buta Hunt [CC]

TRANSCRIPTION/LYRICS BELOW. By editing together three different performances of the piece for elementary school students (found at    • Frank DeLima "why do we need an education"   &    • Frank Delima 1 of 2   &    • Legendary comic Frank De Lima chats with S...  ), I tried to create a nice video version of this classic bit that's easy to watch and enjoy. I, like many other people who grew up with this, was surprised to find out how difficult it was to find this particular song. You can also find a great performance of Peanut Butter Jelly here:    • Feed Me a Story - Frank De Lima - Peanut, ...  

TRANSCRIPTION/LYRICS:
Put your hands on your laps!

We're gonna go hunting for a pig that knows karate.
And the pig is 500 pounds.
And it has long, sharp tusks and big eyes...
... and we're gonna go through tall grass...
... and we're gonna get to the pig,
and the pig is gonna see us...
... and it's gonna start charging us...
... and ATTACK!

You still wanna go hunting?
