Текст Michael Franks – Eggplant

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
She’s got a Gioconda kinda of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant
About 19 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 of dirty look

And my baby cooks her eggplant
About 19 different ways
Sometimes I just have it raw with mayonnaise
