Harry Belafonte Man Piaba Lyrics

This song is dedecated to all the patents who's childeren has reach the age of curiosity.

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 de 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 ton ton call baka lemon grass
The lilly root, gully root, belly root Uhmm!
And the famous grandy 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 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 ton ton call baka lemon grass
The lilly root, gully root, belly root Uhmm!
And the famous grandy 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 I 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
Love and hate is psychosomatic.
Your Rorshac shows that you're a peril pathetic
It all started with a broken sibling
in the words of the famous Rudyard Kippling.

He said the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the ton ton call baka lemon grass
The lilly root, gully root, belly root Uhmm!
And the famous grandy 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
I been over land and been over sea, trying to find the answer about de bird and bee
Now that I am ninty-three, I don't give a d___ you see

If the woman piaba and the man piaba
And the ton ton call baka lemon grass
The lilly root, gully root, belly root Uhmm!
And the famous grandy scratch scratch
