Eggplant
Michael Franks
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 Gioconda kinda dirty look
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
'Bout nineteen different ways.
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.
When my baby cooks her Eggplant,
She don't read no book.
She's got a Gioconda kinda dirty look.
And my baby cooks her Eggplant,
'Bout nineteen different ways.
Sometimes I just have it raw with Mayonnaise.
