Sometimes An Eggplant Words: The Aubergenius Tune: Bold Doherty Sometimes an eggplant is only an eggplant, Perfectly normal and not at all queer. Purple and shiny and moist and delicious Like the fat aubergine I’m holding here. Singing Aubergine-ay, auberginarity Auberginarity Aubergine-ay. Can’t an emoji be just an emoji? Why can’t an inkblot be only a blot? Why can’t a word be a single entendre? And why should I care if it’s single or not? Sometimes a symbol is only a symbol If we have two we can make a big noise. We’ll buy an eggplant and cook a moussaka, Cheesy Greek meatloaf for fat-bottomed boys Who sing Aubergine-ay, auberginarity Auberginarity Aubergine-ay. I wear my aubergines over my undergines I tuck my undergines into my socks Under my turtleneck I carry turtles, all Cleverly fastened with bagels and locks. Next time you look at a peach or papaya Don’t think of genitals, butthole or tush. When you imagine a big purple eggplant Pray to your guru, old Baba Ghanoush. Singing Aubergine-ay, auberginarity Auberginarity Aubergine-ay.
