Book Club from Pumpkins by Robbie Ellis

Yeah, 69 beats per minute.

I pick up ladies in the club with my intellect.
I pick up ladies in the club when our minds connect.
I got my shirt with a collar, I’m a gentleman and a scholar,
You know when I go ‘holla’ Imma follow up with a clever insight.
When I’m relatin’ to ladies I find fascinatin’
We’re deep in conversatin’ academic-like, we’ll be talkin’ all night.
Yeah...

When we sit down at the book club,
Book Club.
Literary discussion at the book club,
My local book club.

So it’s my turn to bring the snacks and a bottle of wine.
Haloumi, pesto, cracker jacks, Riesling $12.99.
After we’re done summarisin’ we get right down to analysin’
Themes the book is comprisin’, like we’re lookin’ at when and where the settin’ is.
This book is brimmin’ with paradoxes faced by women,
It’s worse for her than him an’ Imma say it now: yes I am a feminist.
Ladies...

Liberal viewpoints at the book club,
Book Club.
Gotta show I’m progressive at the book club,
Feminist book club.

When I say Simone, you say de Beauvoir.
Simone! (de Beauvoir!) Simone! (de Beauvoir!)

Chimamanda! (Ngozi Adichie!) Chimamanda! (Ngozi Adichie!) Chimamanda! (Ngozi Adichie!)
Okay, just the men.
