Viva La Woman

Cibo Matto Viva La Woman Lyrics
1.Know Your Chicken

16 years ago, one day,
I was walking down the street
I was cruising in Brooklyn
You know what I mean?
Something was cooking,
but wasn't yet a chicken.

There was a man,
Selling chicks in a box.
He said, '2 for 1, but 3 for 2.'
I said, 'That's not bad,
Here's money for you.'
One was magenta,
The other was blue.

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken

One day, the blue one went away.
The other grew up fuckin' well.
She was noisy every night.
I had always chicken-bite.

Then I met a lover
One night, she made me dinner.
Licking finger, I wondered
Where she got the chicken.
Then I met a lover.
One night, she made me dinner.
Licking finger, I wondered
where she got the chicken.

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken

Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick.
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick
Spare the rod and spoil the chick
Before you go and shit a brick

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken

She went to college to study anatomy
I followed her father's butchery
We got 2 babies. Is it cool?
One was magenta, the other was blue.

I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken
I know my chicken
You got to know your chicken...


2.Birthday Cake

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

Yes, I'm cooking for my son and his wife
It's his 30th birthday
Pour berries into my bowl
Add milk of two months ago
'It's moldy mom, isn't it?'
I don't give a flying fuck though

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

It's food nouveau
It's food nouveau
It's the shape of love
Beat it! Beat it up!
Beat it! Beat it up!

Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG
Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!

You were born in the 60's
We made a war with the Vietnamese
We loved LSD, we died easily
Can we just say c'est la vie?
So what! Say what! For your own sake
Do you have a headache or heartbreak?
Are you made or broken by the birthday cake?
You may be slow on the uptake
I pour pot in the birthday cake
So what! Say what! For my own sake
Watch out yo! Here I come yo!
I'm gonna change to a rattlesnake
Turn up the TV! Do you agree?
Yeah, I'm talking turkey Take it from me
I'm gonna show my love for my dove
'But it's moldy, mom, isn't it?'

Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG
Extra sugar, extra salt
Extra oil and MSG

Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is sweet!
Shut up and eat!
Too bad, no bon appetit!
Shut up and eat!
You know my love is very sweet!


3.Le Pain Perdu

The sunshine, too light
The ocean, too wide
I'm sick of your cliché
The sky is kind
Love is blind
You can't let go of the lost pain

You're in the maze
Spending every day
I'm in the haze
I want the getaway

You're in the maze
Spending every day
I'm in the haze
I want the getaway

Can you take my silver wheat?
Mix it up with butter and treat
I feel a chill go down my feet
Your maple is so sweet

Can you take my silver wheat?
Mix it up with butter and treat
I feel a chill go down my feet
Your maple is so sweet
So sweet

We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
Got to get me out of here
Before it goes stale

We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
Got to get me out of here
Before it goes stale

Can you take my silver wheat?
Mix it up with butter and treat
I feel a chill go down my feet
Your maple is so sweet

Can you take my silver wheat?
Mix it up with butter and treat
I feel a chill go down my feet
Your maple is so sweet
So sweet

But it's too mushy
Too mushy
I can't take it, baby!

We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
Got to get me out of here
Before it goes stale

We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
We've got to get out
To get out the hell out
Got to get me out of here
Before it goes stale


4.Sugar Water

The velocity of time turns her voice into sugar water

I'm on a concrete way
The wind is blowing to the north-northwest
It smells like sands of the southern island
When a black cat crosses my path

A woman in the moon is singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth

La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la

I'm riding on a camel that has big eyes
The buildings are changing into coconut trees
Little by little
When a black cat crosses my path

A woman in the moon is singing to the earth
A woman in the moon is singing to the earth

La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la

La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la
La la la, la la la la la la

We are taking sugar water shower
Shower


5.Theme

Ba ba ba ba ya, ba ya
Ba ba ba ba ya, ba ya oh wa wa
Ba ba ba ba ya, ba ya
Ba ba ba ba ya, ba ya oh wa wa wa wa...

It was such lovely weather, mmm yeah
The third day in Milano
I was sitting in a chair
The point of my high heel was stepping on a man's shadow
The scent of his cappuccino was carried on the wind of Milano

He stared me up and down
As if I was a restaurant menu
The accidental meeting
Made my blood red like Chianti

Mio, ah mio, ah mio
Mio bambino
Mio, ah mio, ah mio
Mio bambino

Blindfold me...only feeling
Blindfold me...only feeling
Blindfold me...only feeling

When you touch me on the knee
I can feel your vibration
When you capture my secret key
I can hear your pulsation
HIT ME!

(japanese)

In the night I can't sleep
In the night I can't sleep
You sweep me off my feet
My feet, my feet, my feet
Make my body burn

(japanese)


6.The Candy Man

Who can take the sunlight, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with chocolate and a miracle or two
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
He mixes it with love, makes the world taste good

Who can take the rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
He mixes it with love, makes the world taste good

The Candy Man makes everything he makes
Satisfying and delicious
Talking about your childhood for the wishes
You can even eat the dishes
But delicious.

Who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
He mixes it with love, makes the world taste good

The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
The Candy Man, the Candy Man can
He mixes it with love, makes the world taste good


7.White Pepper Ice Cream

White pepper ice cream
It's like a line drawing
It snipped my heart
White pepper ice cream

In my mouth
It sting my lips
It's like eclipse
As I'm in the crossword puzzle
But I can't fill in the blank

White pepper ice cream
Sweet or spicy?
White pepper ice cream
Ça m'est égal
Ça m'est égal

Which is the first word?
Sweet or spicy?
Ça m'est égal
Ça m'est égal
It's all the same to me

I was shot with bullets of pepper
On my lips
I feel a nip

Black and white
Bonnie and Clyde
Black and white
Bonnie and Clyde
It steels my sight
Under cover of night

We run away from...
It's all the same to me
We run away from...
It's all the same to me
In the puzzle


8.Artichoke

My heart is like an artichoke
I eat petals myself one by one
Until I feel enough
Until I lose to laugh

When I end to eat the last one
I will tear my drops
I will lose my lips

Though I can't stop plucking off
I can't see my core
I keep asking for you more and more

Can you peel my petals one by one?
Your hands are like a rusty knife
Are you gonna keep on peeling me?
Are you gonna keep on peeling me?
Are you gonna keep on peeling me?

What am I gonna be on the pan?
Will I be burnt black?
Can you squeeze a lemon on me?
A lemon on me?

Baby, baby, everything you wanna feel
Baby, baby, everything you wanna taste
Baby, baby, everything you wanna feel
Baby, baby, everything you wanna taste.


9.Apple

When apple leaves fall
You may feel something in your mind's eye
When the earth drinks in squall
You may plan to escape on the sly

Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh, ohhh...

I heard her sobbing
Her tears tasted so sweet
I heard her singing
Her voice was gray beat

Ohhhh, ohhh, ohhhhh, ohhh...

When apple leaves fall
We will have to say good bye
When the earth drinks in squall
Your mind will be dry

I heard her sobbing
Her tears tasted so sweet
I heard her singing
Her voice was gray beat

Ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh, ohhhh....


10.Beef Jerky

My weight is 300 pounds
My favorite is beef jerky
I'm a vagabond, I'm a vagabond
My mom says, 'You are kinky!'

Who cares? I don't care!
A horse's ass is better than yours
X4

Lay down here, baby
Just relax...honey

My baby horse is Jennifer
What a beefy hip!
She has a fine coat of fur
What shiny hair!

Who cares? I don't care!
A horse's ass is better than yours
X4

Let's eat carrots together until...
Let's eat carrots together until...
