Molcajete

September 12, 2007

Sung to the tune of “Crooked Teeth” by Death Cab for Cutie

I sat that day there in the shade
And I thought, wow, I’ve got it made
Out of the pool after a dip, but only salsa to put on my chip
Like mexican food at the mall, the mall

I love avocados served ripe and raw
Much more than hot dogs topped with cole slaw
And there is no doubt what I want by my side
mmhmm

So I sought an avocado to mash
to be used, consumed, and then I knew in a flash

That you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados
No you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados

I roamed the grocery store
Seeking avocados, tomatoes, and more.
and more, woo, hoo, woo, hoo.

Onion, chilies, garlic, cilantro
Mashed together with a fork in a bowl
Or in my molcajete, a stone mortar and pestle

When that climacteric fruit is mashed, nothing’s lost
Don’t fret, it’s all opportunity costs

Cause you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados
No you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados

Alligator pear or aguacate
Avocat means lawyer too
Avogadro found a number, he was good at math
But I’d rather walk the avocado path

Cause you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados
No you can’t make guacamole
If you don’t mash avocados
No you can’t make guacamole
If you won’t mash avocados
No you can’t make guacamole
If you won’t mash avocados
