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.

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.

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.
