Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Whenever I explore the land of Yin

I always take one on the chin

And now this lioness has almost made me tame

I can't pronounce her name but eggplant is her game

[Verse 2]

The lady sticks to me like white on rice

She never cooks the same way twice

Maybe it's the mushrooms

Maybe the tomatoes

I can't reveal her name but eggplant is her game

[Verse 3]

When my baby cooks her eggplant

She don't read no book

She's got a Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant

About nineteen different ways

Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise

[Verse 4]

Maybe it's the way she grates her cheese

Or just the freckles on her knees

Maybe it's the scallions, maybe she's Italian

I can't reveal her name but eggplant is her game

[Verse 5]

When my baby cooks her eggplant

She don't read no book

She's got a Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant

About nineteen different ways

Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise
