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?
