Man Piaba

[Intro]
This song is dedicated
To all the parents whose children have reached
The age of curiosity

[Verse 1]
When I was a lad just three-foot-three
Certain questions occurred to me
So I asked me father quite seriously
To tell me the story 'bout the bird and bee
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
And this is what he said to me

[Chorus]
He said, "The woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemongrass
The lily root, gully root, belly root, uh
And the famous grandy scratch, scratch

[Verse 2]
It was clear as mud, but it covered the ground
And the confusion made me brain go 'round
I went and ask 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 a minus ten is a routine only when
Hey, the solar system in one light year
Make the Hayden planetarium disappear
So if Mount Everest doesn't move
I am positive that it will prove

[Chorus]
That the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemongrass
The lily root, gully root, belly root, uh
And the famous grandy scratch, scratch

[Verse 3]
It was clear as mud, but it covered the ground
And the confusion made me brain go 'round
I grabbed a boat and I went abroad
In Baden Baden asked Sigmund 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
Hey, love and hate is psychosomatic
Your Rorschach shows that you're a peripatetic
It all started with a broken sibling
In the words of the famous Rudyard Kipling

[Chorus]
Ey-yo, woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemongrass
The lily root, gully root, belly root, uh
And the famous grandy scratch, scratch

[Verse 4]
Well, I traveled far and I traveled wide
And I don't even have me self a bride
All the great men upon this earth
Have confused me since my birth
I've been over land and been over sea
Trying to find the answer 'bout the bird and bee
But now that I am ninety three
I don't give a damn, you see

[Chorus]
If the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the Ton Ton call baka lemongrass
The lily root, gully root, belly root, uh
And the famous grandy scratch, scratch
