Chorus:
I don't eat no ham n' eggscuz they're high in cholesterol
A yophife do you eat em? notip do you eat em?
Uh huhnot at all(again)
I don't eat no ham n' eggscuz they're high in cholesterol
Jarobido you eat em? nopeshahdo you eat em? (nope)
Not at all
Q-tip and phife(trading lines):
A tisketa tasketwhat's in mama's basket?
Some veggie links and some fish that stinks
Whyjust the other dayI went to grandma's house
Smelled like she conjured up a mouse
Eggs was fryinham was smellin
In ten minutesshe started yellin (come and get it)
And the gettin's were good
I saidI shouldn't eatshe saidI think you should
But I can'tI'm plagued by vegetarians
No cats and dogsI'm not a veterinarian
Strictly collard greens and a occasional steak
Goes on my plate
Asparagus tips look yummyyummyyummy
Candied yams inside my tummy
A collage of good eatssome snacks or nice treats
Apple sauce and some nice red beets
This is what we snack on when we're questin'
(both: no second guessin)
Chorus:
(q-tip: bridge)
Phife:
Now drop the beatso I can talk about my favorite tastings
The food that is the everlastingsee I'm not fasting
I'm gobblinglike a dog on turkey
Beef jerkyslim jimsI eat sometimes
I like lemons and limes
And if not thattake it the road see and the salad sopped
Sit backrelaxlisten to some hip hop
Q-tip:
Gum drops and gummy bears tease my eyes
A sight for sore ones and some bore pies
And other goodies that are filled with goop
With fried apple roots
Delectable delightscontrol my appetites
Mine is for merightbut I know what I like
Chicken for lunchchicken for my dinner
ChickenchickenchickenI'm a finger lickin winner
When breakfast time comesI don't recognize
Pig in the pan or a pair of bogey chides
Mixed with stewed tomatoeshome fried potatoes
Or anything with flaircook itI'm in there
Pay attention to the tribe as we impose
This is how it goes
I don't eat no ham n' eggscuz they're high in cholesterol
A yophife do you eat em? nahtip do you eat em?
Uh huhnot at all(come againy'all)
I don't eat no ham n' eggscuz they're high in cholesterol
Jarobido you eat em? nopeshahdo you eat em?
