I've been opening solo gigs with this one: THE EGGPLANT THAT ATE CHICAGO You'd better watch out for The eggplant that ate Chicago Or he may eat your city soon You'd better watch out for The eggplant that ate Chicago If'n he's still hungry, the whole country's doomed BRIDGE: He came from outer space Looking for something to eat He landed in Chicago He thought Chicago was a treat (It was a treat, it was sweet, it was just like sugar) You'd better watch out for The eggplant that ate Chicago Or he may eat your city soon You'd better watch out for The eggplant that ate Chicago If'n he's still hungry, the whole country's doomed INST BREAK/BRIDGE/VERSE/END WITH: If'n he's still hungry the whole country's doomed ~ And I really mean it If'n he's still hungry the whole country's doomed ~ We're in trouble If'n he's still hungry the whole country's doomed END Originally done by Dr. West's (AKA Norman Greenbaun) Medicine Show and Junk Band. Greenbaum eventually wound up working as a dairy farmer in northern California. The chords are basic jug band swing type stuff: G7+6/E9/A7/D9, etc. - Merritt
