Never was a cornflake girl Thought that was a good solution
Hanging with the raisin girls She's gone to the other side
Givin us a yo heave ho Things are getting kind of gross
And I go at sleepy time This is not really happening You bet your life it is
Peel out the watchword Just peel out the watchword
She knows what's goin on Seems we got a cheaper feel now
All the sweetcaze are gone Gone to the other side With my encyclopedia
They musta paid her a nice price She's putting on her string bean love
This is not really happening You bet your life it is
Peal our the watchword Just peel out the watchword
Never was a cornflake girl Thought that was a good solution
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl And the man with the golden gun thinks
he knows so much Thinks he knows so much
Rabbit where'd you put the keys girl (sing365)
The inspiration for "Cornflake Girl" came from Alice walker's novel Possessing the Secret of Joy, about a young African woman going through the ritual of female genital mutilation. Amos was angered by the idea that a mother could subject her daughter to such a brutal act, and the song arose as an exploration of the idea of betrayal between women.(wikipedia)
cultural practice that started in Africa ...
The controversial tradition at the heart of African culture has now reached the shores of Europe. Today, over 500 British girls are estimated to have undergone the procedure of female genital cutting.
