Egcgplant - Michael Franks

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

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 Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant

About 19 different ways

Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise

Maybe its the way she grates her cheese

Or just the freckles on her knees

Maybe its 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 Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant

About 19 different ways

Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise
