Well, if I don`t love you baby
Grits ain`t groceries, eggs ain`t poultry
And Mona Lisa was a man
All around the world I`d-a rather be a fly
I`ll lite on my baby n` stay with her `till I die
With a toothpick in my hand, I`d dig a ten foot ditch
And run through the jungle fightin` lions with a switch
`Cause you know I love you, baby
Yes, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don`t love you, baby
Grits ain`t groceries, eggs ain`t poultrys
And Mona Lisa was a man
All around the world I got blisters on my feet
Tryin` to find my baby n` bring her home with me
You better run into me baby and be convinced
If you don`t run into me, woman, you ain`t got no sense
`Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don`t love you, baby
Grits ain`t groceries, eggs ain`t poultrys
And Mona Lisa was a man
(Instrumental) - Willis Jackson - tenor sax
All around the world, I never will forget
Lost all my money, my woman and my pet
I got to have you baby, settle for nothin` less
Give up all my goodtime girls an` set`d for happiness
`Cause you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I love you, baby
Well, you know I want you, baby
Yes, your smilin` face is my heaven in life
Well, you know I love you, baby
Yes, you know I love you, baby
Ooh-ooh, you know I love you, baby
Yeah, you know I love you, baby
Well, if I don`t love you, baby
Grits ain`t groceries
Eggs ain`t poultrys
Mona Lisa was a man.
