[Cmaj7] [Gm7]
Whenever I explore the land of Yin,
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [Bb9]
I always take one on the chin.
[Cmaj7] [Gm7] [Am7]
And now this lioness has almost made me tame.
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [G]
I can?t pronounce her name but eggplant is her game.
[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
[Cmaj7] [Gm7]
The lady sticks to me like white on rice.
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [Bb9]
She never cooks the same thing twice.
[Cmaj7] [Gm7] [Am7]
Maybe it?s the mushrooms, maybe the tomatoes.
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [G]
I can?t reveal her name but eggplant is her game.
[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
[Cmaj7] Gm11 [Cmaj7] Gm11
When my baby cooks her eggplant, she don?t read no book.
[Cmaj7] Gm11 [Am7]
She?s got a Gioconda kind of dirty look.
[Cmaj7] Gm11
And my baby cooks her eggplant
[Cmaj7] Gm11
?bout nineteen different ways,
[Cmaj7] Gm11 [Am7]
But sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise.
[Cmaj7] [Gm7]
Maybe it?s the way she grates her cheese,
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [Bb9]
Or just the freckles on her knees.
[Cmaj7] [Gm7] [Am7]
Maybe it?s the scallions, maybe she?s Italian.
[Fmaj7] [Fm7] [G]
I can?t reveal her name but eggplant is her game.
[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
Bar [Cmaj7], [Gm7], and [Fm7]
[Cmaj9] [Fmaj7] [Bb9] Gm11
