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
And she's got a Gioconda
Kind of dirty look
And my baby cooks her eggplant
About 19 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.
