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.
