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.

Cmaj7 Gm11 Am7
She?s got a Gioconda kind of dirty look.

And my baby cooks her eggplant

I can?t reveal her name but eggplant is her game.
