Hog Wash - Louis Jordan and his Tympany Five

I want a great big comfortable bed,

so I can really spread out, and all that

Take it from me Ed, A man’s best friend is a bed

I want a big fat pillow that’s

softer than a billowy cloud, for my head

Take it from me Nat, A best head piece ain’t a hat

Yes, a friend will ditch you, a horse will pitch you

A car will give you lots of grief

A dog will bite you, Your wife will fight you

But if you want some genuine relief

Just get a great big comfortable bed,

where you can really spread out, and all that

Take it from me Ted, a man’s best friend is a bed

When you’re in trouble, worries double

And everybody’s talking back

Just take your shoes off, you’ll shake the blues off

If you would just let go when hit the sack

In a nice cool comfortable bed where you can spread, and all that

Take it from me Ted, a man’s best friend is a bed

Ask any soldier, marine or sailor

Any one who’s been without, what do they miss most

What thought is foremost?

No Sir, you’re wrong

It’s just a great big comfortable bed,

where can really spread out, and all that

Take it from me Ted, a man’s best friend is a bed

Yeah, if you dig me Jack, You’ll hit the sack

This ain’t no junk boy, hit that bar

Take it from me Ted, A man’s best friend is a bed
