Whenever I explore the land of Yin,
Fmaj7Fm7Bb9
I always take one on the chin.
Cmaj7Gm7Am7
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
Fmaj7Fm7G
I can?t pronounce her name but eggplant is her game.
CGCGm79Cmaj7Gm7
The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
Fmaj7Fm7Bb9
She never cooks the same thing twice.
Cmaj7Gm7Am7
Maybe it?s the mushrooms, maybe the tomatoes.
Fmaj7Fm7G
I can?t reveal her name but eggplant is her game.
CGCGm79Cmaj7Gm11Cmaj7Gm11
When my baby cooks her eggplant, she don?t read no book.
Cmaj7Gm11Am7
She?s got a Gioconda kind of dirty look.
Cmaj7Gm11
And my baby cooks her eggplant
Cmaj7Gm11
?bout nineteen different ways,
Cmaj7Gm11Am7
But sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise.
Cmaj7Gm7
Maybe it?s the way she grates her cheese,
Fmaj7Fm7Bb9
Or just the freckles on her knees.
Cmaj7Gm7Am7
Maybe it?s the scallions, maybe she?s Italian.
Fmaj7Fm7G
I can?t reveal her name but eggplant is her game.
