Translations of foreign lyrics in Prince songs

Ok, who out there can translate all of the non-English lyrics in Prince's songs. I've always been curious about several of them.

French Seduction (IN Girls & BOYS from the PARADE Album)

Baby, I got laxatives and a avocado , Baby,
Is that what U want baby,
Could I move like a slug, or boob job,
Is that true baby, penut butter is sour powdered.
Bark like a dog, baby, bark for me now baby,
Jerome, and Christopher, Ya'll look so gay to me baby,
We don't have money baby,
We don't have food baby,
We don't even have our own language--just this stupid accent, baby.

(i may have gotten a few words wrong in the interpretation, but it's not an exact science).

Pick your song from here:

Translations are usually provided next to the transcriptions of non-American-English.
