Lyrics

Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
 Ain't no pretender, gonna ride in my canoe
 If I were a barker in a girly show,
 Tell ya what I'd do,
 I'd lock the door, tear my shirt and let my river flow
 Oh, oh, sweet Jemima, wont'cha come out tonight?
 The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright!
 Jemima surrender, that's all you have to do
 I'll bring over my Fender
 And I'll play all night for you
 There's a bird on my head
 And his mouth won't talk (He won't talk-- he's in shock),
 You know he laughs just like a goose,
 But looks like a hawk
 Jemima, you know what I'm tryin' to say,
 Meet me in the front and we'll fly away
 You can change your name
 You can find a new walk
 You can change your lock, it's all the same
 You don't have to give out
 If you'll only give in
 You can jump and shout
 But can't you see girl, that I'm bound to win
 Jemima surrender, I'm gonna give it to you,
 Ain't no pretender, wanna see my tattoo?
 I hand you my rod and you hand me that line,
 That's what you do
 And now we ain't doin' much fishin'
 Or drinkin' any wine
 Sweet Jemima, if I were a king
 I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
