All Around the World
Little Willie Lyrics

Well, if I don't love you baby
If I don't love you, then grits aren't groceries, eggs aren't poultry, and Mona Lisa was a man. In other words, my love for you is unequivocal.

Grits ain't groceries, eggs ain't poultry
These expressions, both Southern American colloquialisms, are used to emphasize the depth of the singer's love. Essentially, their point is that if they don't love someone, then nothing else in the world would matter.

And Mona Lisa was a man

And run through the jungle fighting lions with a switch

You better run into me baby and be convinced

If you don't run into me, woman, you ain't got no sense
