A Tribe Called Quest - Ham ‘N’ Eggs lyrics
[A Tribe Called Quest - Ham ‘N’ Eggs lyrics]
I don't eat no ham n' eggs
Cuz they're high in cholesterol
Ay yo, Phife do you eat em?
(No, Tip do you eat em?)
Uh uh, 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
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 it", 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
The 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'
(No second guessin')
I don't eat no ham n' eggs
Cuz they're high in cholesterol
Ay yo, Phife do you eat em?
(No, Tip do you eat em?)
Uh uh, 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
Bridge!
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
I get the Roti and the Soursop"
Sit back, relax, listen to some hip-hop
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
Mines 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 uh, 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 uh, not at 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, Gary, do you eat em?)
Yeah, all the time (laughing)
Cuz they're high in cholesterol
Ay yo, Phife do you eat em?
(No, Tip do you eat em?)
Uh uh, not at all (Again)
I don't eat no ham n' eggs
