[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
[Cmaj7]Whenever I explore the [Gm7]land of Yin,
I [Fmaj7]always take one [Fm7]on the chi[Bb9]n.
And [Cmaj7]now this lioness has [Gm7]almost made me [Am7]tame.
I [Fmaj7]can?t pronounce her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
[Cmaj7]The lady sticks to me like [Gm7]white on rice.
She [Fmaj7]never cooks the [Fm7]same thing twi[Bb9]ce.
[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the mushrooms, [Gm7]maybe the to[Am7]matoes.
I [Fmaj7]can?t reveal her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
[Cmaj9] [Gm7] [Cmaj9] [Gm7]
[Cmaj7]When my baby cooks her egg[Gm11]plant,[Cmaj7] she don?t read no [Gm11]book.
[Cmaj7]She?s got a Gi[Gm11]oconda kind of [Am7]dirty look.
[Cmaj7]And my baby cooks her egg[Gm11]plant
[Cmaj7]?bout nineteen different [Gm11]ways,
[Cmaj7]But sometimes I just [Gm11]have it raw with may[Am7]onnaise.

[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the way she [Gm7]grates her cheese,
Or [Fmaj7]just the freckles [Fm7]on her kn[Bb9]ees.
[Cmaj7]Maybe it?s the scallions, [Gm7]maybe she?s I[Am7]talian.
I [Fmaj7]can?t reveal her name but [Fm7]eggplant[G] is her game.
