Man Piaba - Harry Belafonte
When I was a lad just three foot three
Certain questions occured to me
So I asked me father quite seriously
To tell me the story about the bird and bee
He stammered and he stuttered pathetically
And this is what he said to me
He said the woman piaba
And the man piaba
And the dan dan call back lemon grass
The lilly root gully root belly root ungh
And the famous granny scratch scratch
It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
And the confusion made me brain go round
I went and asked 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 minus ten is rooted only when
Hey the solar system in one light year
Make the Hyden planitarium disapear
So if Mt Everest doesn't move
I am positive that it will prove
That the woman piaba
And the man piaba
And the dan dan coal back lemon grass
The lilly root gully root belly root ungh
And the famous granny scratch scratch
It was clear as mud but it covered the ground
And the confusion made me brain go round
I grabed a boat and went abroad
And in Baden Germany asked Sigmond 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 rorshac shows that you're a parapathatic
It all started with a broken sibling
In the words of the famous Rudyard Kippling
I been over land and been over sea
Trying to find the answer about the bird and bee
Now that I am ninty-three
I don't give a damn you see
If the woman piaba
And the man piaba
And the dan dan coal back lemon grass
The lilly root gully root belly root ungh
And the famous granny scratch scratch
Well I travel far and I travel wide
And I don't even have meself a bride
All the great men upon this earth
Have confused me since my birth
If the woman piaba
And the man piaba
And the dan dan coal back lemon grass
The lilly root gully root belly root ungh
And the famous granny scratch scratch
