[Verse]
Did you know t
hat the Dandel
ion has real t
asty young lea
ves?
and those brig
ht yellow flow
ers are delici
ous
and if you dig
up the root a
nd roast it
It sure does s
mell real swee
t
That's what we
call Dandelio
n Coffee
Have you ever
tried a Stingi
ng Nettle?
If you cook 'e
m up they don'
t hurt
Well I like to
turn 'em into
soup
Or you can pou
r a little boi
led water on '
em, turn 'em i
nto a tea
Well that's to
tally fine by
me
[Chorus]
Just as long a
s you get Wild
Food
I want me some
of that Wild
Food
It's my favori
te, Wild Food
Come on, dude!
[Verse]
There's a plan
t called Goose
Grass or Clea
vers
It'll stick to
you like glue
But if you get
it down it's
real good for
you
and I've heard
it'll clean y
our lymphatic
but I don't kn
ow what that m
eans
I just like my
wild greens
and there's on
e called Sea B
eet
I'll bet you c
an guess where
that grows
If ya doesn't
already knows
and if you can
't figure that
one out well
then somebody
oughta tell
Tell you that
you're dumb as
hell
[Chorus]
and you oughta
eat some Wild
Food
'Cause that'll
help ya, Wild
Food
It'll make ya
smarter, Wild
Food
Come on, dude!
[Verse]
There's a litt
le plant calle
d Wood Sorrel
It's got three
heart-shaped
leaves
Even the kids
like the taste
of that one
It's a little
tart and sour
like a lemon b
ut when I see
a patch
I just can't h
elp but go ove
r and snatch
and you can ea
t the whole pl
ant of Red Clo
ver
But the flower
's my favorite
part
and I've heard
it's good for
the heart
and speakin' o
f the heart, w
ell there's no
better plant
than old Hawth
orn
Don't be scare
d away by the
crown Jesus wo
rn
[Chorus]
Well he must'v
e liked his Wi
ld Food
It used to be
all Wild Food
But now it's r
arely Wild Foo
d
Come on, dude!
[Bridge]
You work a job
for money
You spend the
money on food
and then you g
o to the gym a
nd spend more
money
To get rid of the food
Well how 'bout
spendin' the
day outside
Runnin' throug
h the trees, n
ow that's exer
cise
Fillin' up you
r basket, snac
kin' all the w
ay
Eatin' that de
licious, highl
y nutritious
The best food
available on p
lanet Earth, f
olks!
Forget about Organic! Forget about Non-GMO!
[Chorus]
Just give me s
ome of that Wi
ld Food
It's all I wan
t now, Wild Fo
od
It's my favori
te, Wild Food
Come on, dude!
G C (repeated until finish)
Seriously folks
People look down at these plants and call 'em weeds
I say turn those pests into pesto!!!
