chorus:
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
A yo, Phife do you eat em? No, Tip do you eat em?
|
Uh huh, not at all(again)
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
Jarobi, do you eat em? Nope, Shah, do you eat em? (Nope)
|
Not at all
|
|
Q-Tip and Phife(trading lines):
|
A tisket, a tasket, what's in mama's basket?
|
Some veggie links and some fish that stinks
|
Why, just the other day, I went to Grandma's house
|
Smelled like she conjured up a mouse
|
Eggs was fryin, ham was smellin
|
In ten minutes, she started yellin (come and get it)
|
And the gettin's were good
|
I said, I shouldn't eat, she said, I think you should
|
But I can't, I'm plagued by vegetarians
|
No cats and dogs, I'm not a veterinarian
|
Strictly collard greens and a occasional steak
|
Goes on my plate
|
Asparagus tips look yummy, yummy, yummy
|
Candied yams inside my tummy
|
A collage of good eats, some 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 beat, so I can talk about my favorite tastings
|
The food that is the everlasting, see I'm not fasting
|
I'm gobbling, like a dog on turkey
|
Beef jerky, slim jims, I eat sometimes
|
I like lemons and limes
|
And if not that, take it the road see and the salad sopped
|
Sit back, relax, listen 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 delights, control my appetites
|
Mine is for me, right, but I know what I like
|
Chicken for lunch, chicken for my dinner
|
Chicken, chicken, chicken, I'm a finger lickin winner
|
When breakfast time comes, I don't recognize
|
Pig in the pan or a pair of bogey chides
|
Mixed with stewed tomatoes, home fried potatoes
|
Or anything with flair, cook it, I'm in there
|
Pay attention to the Tribe as we impose
|
This is how it goes
|
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
A yo, Phife do you eat em? Nah, Tip do you eat em?
|
Uh huh, not at all(come again, y'all)
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
Jarobi, do you eat em? Nope, Shah, do you eat em?
|
Nope, not at all
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
Afrika do you eat em? No, Pos, do you eat em?
|
Hell yeah, all the time
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
Phife, do you eat em? Nah, Tip, do you eat em?
|
Uh huh, not at all
|
Jarobi, do you eat em? Nope, Shah, do you eat em?
|
Nope, not at all
|
I don't eat no ham n' eggs, cuz they're high in cholesterol
|
Afrika, do you eat em? No, Gary, do you eat em?
|
Yeah, all the time (laughing)
