"What you gonna play now?"

(Tasty)
(Let me)

Just a little lovin' early in the morning
Mmm, mmm
Flavors
So many flavors to choose from
All delectable in their way
It's very hard to choose just one

So as I think slowly
And try to decide
Out of all the lovely treats
Just which one am I?
It's hard to say cause I'm a special blend
People will try to put me in

A category
For which there is no room for expansion
Don't you see that move is doubtful?
Because the fruit is bountiful
Turn me over slowly
And I guarantee a mouthful

Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Easy does it
Take your time
Tasty
Now you know the meaning of the line
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning

And now that you've had a taste
Could you waste a dropful?
Of a nectar
So sweet
Guaranteed to keep you youthful

A hot tasty hors d'oeuvre
Or better yet
What would you prefer?
Hot fudge over ice cream topped with whipped cream?

Passion is in the fruit
And I can't stand it
If it could be bottled
People would be demanding it
And that would be just too scandalous

Just a little lovin'
Early in the mornin'
So as I simmer
Basted with a touch of honey to give me a glimmer
Or should I say shimmer of sweetness
Pound for pound
I can see no weakness

(Oh glory)
Glory to the Father
If you think you're praising me
Then don't even bother

Excuse me
I don't think they heard me
Turn it up a little louder
Cool, here we go

Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Hmm
I'm feeling effervescent
Refreshed
Lively

Never mind
Girlfriend over there who despises me
She doesn't even know my name
That's OK
You should have an attitude
When you play this game

These days
It's very hard to be chosen
Cause most of us try to play like ice cubes frozen
But that'll get you nut n' honey
Guitar man
Give me something yummy

Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning
Just a little lovin'
Early in the morning

So as the aromas fill the room
And the smell of sugar and cinnamon looms
Aromatic in its blend
And there's plenty for you
To choose from on the menu, my friends
So take your time

And every now and then
Try something different
And you'll find variety is the spice of life
That keeps it finger-licking
Ah, that wasn't no ordinary chicken

Ha, ha, ha
You better believe it
And at this moment
I think it's time I release it
Peace
(Mmm)

Just a little lovin' early in the morning
(Let me kick it)
Just a little lovin' early in the morning

Carmen Electra

Carmen Electra is best known as a model and actress, but she briefly had a music career while signed to Prince’s Paisley Park label in the early 90’s as a rapper. Her singles like “Everybody Get On Up” and “Go Go Dancer” were largely ghostwritten by British rapper Monie Love, but her musical foray stands as a great kitsch-item in a long and colorful career.
