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 thing 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 kind of dirty look.
And my baby cooks her eggplant
?bout nineteen different ways,
But sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise.
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.
