The Iron Hog

Under a hog made out of iron
where libations flow so fast
and the music will coerce your feet to dance;

be aware of your surroundings
and forget about the past,
let the room fill up with party, and romance!

~

There's no way you're in the wrong place
it's "hog heaven", as they say
let's celebrate together young, and old;

we'll all raise high our glasses
and toast the aging of the day,
staying well after the final joke is told!

~

We'll share our camaraderie
and celebrate good cheer
we'll keep the party going into night,

every celebration differs
although one thing's always clear,
the Iron Hog's the place where the party's out of sight!

~
