Mr. Stalin You're Eating Too High Off The Hog
      By Arthur 'Guitar Boogie' Smith and his Crackerjacks [1950]

   

When Word War II was over
      Uncle Sam said, "Boy's go home!"
      No one had to twist my arm,
      I came back ‘cross the foam
      Now things are in a mess again
      The world is all agog
      Old Joe Stalin in Moscow
      Is eating too high on the hog

   

Mr. Stalin, you're eatin' too high on the hog
      Mr. Stalin, quit feedin' those lies to your mob
      Now, Joe, you better change your way
      Or like Hitler you will pay
      For eating too high on the hog

   

Now old Joe's getting' up in age
      But they say he ain't so dumb
      He knows all about ships and tanks
      And maybe atom bombs
      If he keeps eatin' like he is
      At his own discretion
      One of these days he's going to wake up
      With American indigestion

   

Mr. Stalin, you're eatin' too high on the hog
      Mr. Stalin, quit feedin' those lies to your mob
      We know that you've got armies
      And we know that they're big
      But don't forget that the ham is close
      To the tail end of the pig

   

Now Molotov and Malik
      Are only office boys
      They came to the UN
      And made a lot of noise
      They're only takin' orders
      That come across from you
      But your hammer and sickle just won't fit
      Our red, white and blue

   

Mr. Stalin, you're eatin' too high on the hog
      Mr. Stalin, quit feedin' those lies to your mob
      Now, listen Joe, you know that you aren't
      Used eating meat
      Act your age, be yourself,
      Stick to Kremlin wheat

   

Mr. Stalin, you're eatin' too high on the hog
      Mr. Stalin, quit feedin' those lies to your mob
      Now, we aren't huntin' trouble
      But we ain't never run
      Let's all live and let live, Joe
      Remember the rising sun
      Quit eating too high on the hog

   
   
         

I make a judgment of the condition of the record based on a visual inspection and having been played on my Esoteric transcription turntable. Please understand that the grade I assign is subjective.
         
      E+  "Excellent plus." Minimal  effects of age. Slightly  surface noise, clicks, pops  etc.
      E  "Excellent." Some slight evidence of age or handling (fine  scratches, scuffs, rubs). Minimal groove wear. May show some very minor grey  traces in grooves.
      E-  "Excellent minus." Very close to "E" but with slightly more  wear from handling and age.
      VG+ "Very  good plus." Obvious wear, but not excessive. Slightly more surface noise. Not as choice as the higher grades, but what one would expect of a  record that was actually used for many  years. And can be still quite enjoyable.
      VG "Very  Good." As "very good" implies the record will still play quite  well. However, there is more wear and  tear than with "VG+" grade. There is moderate surface noise.
      G "Good." Serviceable but not great. Quite a bit of wear.

        About Me For several decades I was an avid collector of historical artifacts that reflected some aspect of American history. I used these items, or digital versions of them, to teach 10th graders about American history. I’m now close to the end of my career and approaching retirement. So, it’s time to start the downsizing process and depart with my beloved collection. Along the way I'll be selling off other items too.
