From the recording There Goes Rhymin' Pie Man
You know one never knows what might inspire the writing of a song. With this one, I had invented a savory pie at Favorites Bakery which I titled Eggplant Ratatouille Pie. It's a very good recipe, what can I say? It sold well. But time consuming to make. Not a big money maker, gee come to think of it I may have created bakery products a'many which probably fall in the category of "loss leader". Loved making those delicious pies. And the filling. So then this song bursts forth one day, kind of a silly poppy thing, but the most amusing thing to me is, you could fairly say I had to invent the pie in order to invent the song. So to herald the whole wacky event, I recite the recipe on the end of the song, it's not very concise, but if you can cook at all I think you could figure out how to make the pie if you listen to the recipe. I thank you.
Lyrics
She walked into the party room
Like a doll jumpin’ out of a box
She wore a tight red dress
But she cut the rug
With her 5 inch heels on Bobbysocks
Well I spoke up and I shook her hand
Though I didn’t really
Wanna get hurt
And when she asked me home
For something hot
I thought I might get lucky
But instead of dessert she gave me…
Eggplant Ratatouille Pie
Lord have mercy she looked so fine!
She said no to lust
But she gave me great crust
So I had another piece
Of that eggplant pie !
Well I pursued that lady
For a month without a score
We went to parties
And we went to shows
Like the sexiest lady
With her carnivore!
And every night when I’d take her home
I was burnin’ up in the mood
Then I’d hold her tight
And kiss her right
But I was startin’ to like
Vegetarian food
She gave me…
Eggplant ratatouille pie
Lord have mercy
I testify!
Let’s just cuddle and I told her why
Cuz I could use another piece
Of that eggplant pie
Now the years have passed
And when the shades are drawn
She shows all her curves t’me
But there’s nothin’ better
She serves t’me than baby’s
Eggplant ratatouille pie
Lord have mercy what a natural high
Sometimes I feel like I might die
When I’m chewin’ on a piece
A’that eggplant pie
Recipe:
Well first ya take oh…about a medium sized
Eggplant see, then ya cut it into cubes.
Then ya sauté it up in a pan with some
Oh butter onions, green peppers, spices, and other stuff
And don’t forget lots a’garlic
So then, after it’s cooked
Ya put it in a pie shell
On top of that, you put a layer of soft cream cheese
Then the top of the pie!
Bake till golden brown, and EAT!
I thank you!
