so much food to look forward to
noodles, pizza, mangoes to
so much food out in the world
but for now, you’re a milk girl

milk that’s warm and wet and white
milk in the morning, milk at night
they can offer you gold and spice and silk
no thanks, you’ll say, just milk

milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
just milk (slurp slurp)
just milk (slurp slurp)

there’s kung pao chicken and garlic naan
green beans, walnuts, custard, flan
fish that’s filleted and beef that’s ground
but for now you’re a milk hound

milk at 9 and 12 and 3
milk for brunch and milk for tea
if you were a French girl, you would say
“mama…du lait!”

whistle

milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
milk milk milk milk
just milk (slurp slurp)
just milk (slurp slurp)

(lyrics: Dan Bern)
