Grits Ain't Groceries (All Around The World) (Bonus Track)

(album: Blue Matter - 1969)

All around the world
I'd rather be a fly
And light on my baby's head
I'll stay with that
Woman 'til I die
A toothpick in my hand
I dig a 10-foot ditch
And ride through the jungle
Fighting lions with a switch
Because ya' know I love ya' baby
Well, you know I love you baby
And if I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries
Eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well, it's all around the world and I got blisters on my feet
A-trying to find my baby
A-bring her back to me
If you see my baby
I know she'll be convinced
If it don't send her back to me
It just don't make no sense
Because ya' know I love ya' baby
Well, you know I love you baby
If I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries and eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well, all around the world
I never will forget
I lost all my money, my woman and my pet
But I got to have you baby
I got to settle for nothing less
Give up all my good time for the sake of happiness
Because ya' know I love ya' baby
You know
You know I love you baby
If I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries
Eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

I said, if I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries
Eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa must-a
Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Well
If I don't love ya' baby
If I don't love you baby
If I don't love you baby
Grits ain't groceries
And eggs ain't poultry
And Mona Lisa must-a been a man

Mona Lisa must-a been a man
