All Around The World

Little Willie John

Well, if I don't love you baby

Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry

And Mona Lisa was a man



All around the world I'd-a rather be a fly

I'll lite on my baby n' stay with her 'till I die

With a toothpick in my hand, I'd dig a ten foot ditch

And run through the jungle fightin' lions with a switch



'Cause you know I love you, baby

Yes, you know I love you, baby

Well, if I don't love you, baby

Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultrys

And Mona Lisa was a man



All around the world I got blisters on my feet

Tryin' to find my baby n' bring her home with me

You better run into me baby and be convinced

If you don't run into me, woman, you ain't got no sense



'Cause you know I love you, baby

Well, you know I love you, baby

Well, if I don't love you, baby

Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultrys

And Mona Lisa was a man



(Instrumental) - Willis Jackson - tenor sax



All around the world, I never will forget

Lost all my money, my woman and my pet

I got to have you baby, settle for nothin' less

Give up all my goodtime girls an' set'd for happiness



'Cause you know I love you, baby

Well, you know I love you, baby

Well, you know I want you, baby

Yes, your smilin' face is my heaven in life



Well, you know I love you, baby

Yes, you know I love you, baby

Ooh-ooh, you know I love you, baby

Yeah, you know I love you, baby



Well, if I don't love you, baby

Grits ain't groceries

Eggs ain't poultrys

Mona Lisa was a man.
