dedicated to my grandmother and her stellar kimchi
lyrics
i've eaten duck, i've eaten rabbit and i've eaten a moose
i've eaten quail and alligators and kangaroos
baby sheep and baby cows and baby octupi too
i'm grateful for my full belly, it all tastes so good
but there's nothing quite like
grandma's homemade batch of kimchi
she flavours it with grandmother love
she spices it up with seven up
the landlord said she don’t deal with no ethnic smells
that stench of kimchi makes the other tenants feel repelled
well, i say, i won’t complain about your potatoes and steak
just tolerate the scents and tastes of multicultural plates
but there's nothing quite like
grandma's homemade batch of kimchi
she flavours it with grandmother love
she spices it up with seven up
at home, at school, at work
because there's nothing quite like
grandma's homemade batch of kimchi
she flavours it with grandmother love
she spices it up with seven up
