? Man Piaba
Harry Belafonte
When I was a lad just three foot three

certain questions occured to me.

So I asked me father quite seriously

to tell me the story about the bird and bee.
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically.
And this is what he said to me.

He said the woman piaba
and the man piaba
and the dan dan call back lemon grass

the lilly root, gully root, belly root Ungh!

And the famous granny scratch scratch.

It was clear as mud, but it covered the ground.
And the confusion made me brain go round.

I went and asked a good friend of mine,
known to the world as Albert Einstein.

He said "Son, from the beginning of time
and creativity there existed the force of relativity.

Pi R square and minus ten is rooted only when

The solar system in one light year
make the Hyden planitarium disapear.

So if Mt. Everest doesn't move,
I am positive that it will prove...

That the woman piaba
and the man piaba
and the dan dan coal back lemon grass

the lilly root, gully root, belly root Ungh!

And the famous granny scratch scratch.

It was clear as mud, but it covered the ground.
And the confusion made me brain go round.

I grabed a boat and went abroad.

And in Baden Germany asked Sigmond Fraud.

He said, "Son, from your sad face remove the grouch,

put the body up on the couch.

I can see from your frustration
a neurotic sublimation.

Love and hate is psychosomatic.

Your Rorshac shows that you're a parapathatic.
It all started with a broken sibling

in the words of the famous Rudyard Kippling.

He said the woman piaba
and the man piaba
and the dan dan coal back lemon grass

the lilly root, gully root, belly root. Ungh!

And the famous granny scratch scratch.

Well I travel far and I travel wide,
and I don't even have meself a bride.

All the great men upon this earth
have confused me since my birth.

I been over land and been over sea

trying to find the answer about the bird and bee.

Now that I am ninty-three
I don't give a damn you see.

If the woman piaba
and the man piaba
and the dan dan coal back lemon grass
the lilly root, gully root, belly root. Ungh!
And the famous granny scratch scratch.
