All Around The World:Little Willie John.
Recorded 1955 on King Records.
INTRO: (Slow)
Well, if I don t love you baby..
grits ain t groceries, eggs ain t poultries,
and Mona Lisa was a man.
#1.
All around the world I d rather be a fly.
I ll light on my baby n stay with her till I die.
With a toothpick in my hand, I d dig a ten foot ditch,
and run through the jungle fightin lions with a switch.
CHORUS:
Cause you know I love you, baby..
yes, you know I love you, baby.
Well, if I don t love you, baby..
grits ain t groceries, eggs ain t poultries,
and Mona Lisa was a man.
#2.
All around the world I got blisters on my feet..
tryin to find my baby n bring her home with me.
You better run into me baby, and be convinced..
if you don t run into me, woman, you ain t got no sense.
CHORUS:
Cause you know I love you, baby..
yes, you know I love you, baby.
Well, if I don t love you, baby..
grits ain t groceries, eggs ain t poultries,
and Mona Lisa was a man.
(INTERLUDE:SAX:)
#3.
All around the world, I never will forget..
lost all my money, my woman and my pet.
I got to have you baby, settle for nothin less..
give up all my goodtime girls and set for happiness.
CHORUS:
Cause you know I love you, baby..
yes, you know I love you, baby.
Well, you know I want you, baby..
yes, your smilin face is my Heaven in life.
OUTRO:
Well, you know I love you, baby.
Yes, you know I love you, baby.
Ooh-ooh, you know I love you, baby..
yeah, you know I love you, baby.
Well, if I don t love you, baby..
Grits ain t groceries, eggs ain t poultries..
and Mona Lisa was a man.
A fifties smash from Kraziekhat.
