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 won't you come out tonight?   The ground is so warm and the moon is so bright      Jemima surrender, that's all ya 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   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 front and we'll fly away      You can change your name   You can find a new walk   You can change a 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, gonna 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 king   I'd fix you up with a diamond ring
