Eggplant
Michael Franks
From: The Art of Tea
Whenever I explore the land of Yen
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
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
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise
-break-
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
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book
She's got a Giocanna kinda of dirty look
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
Bout 19 different ways
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise
