Wild Food

Did you know that the Dandelion has real tasty young leaves?
And those bright yellow flowers are delicious
And if you dig up the root and roast it
It sure does smell real sweet
That’s what we call Dandelion Coffee

Have you ever tried a Stinging Nettle?
If you cook ‘em up they don’t hurt
Well I like to turn ‘em into soup
Or you can pour a little boiled water on ‘em, turn ‘em into a tea
Well that’s totally fine by me

Just as long as you get Wild Food
I want me some of that Wild Food
It’s my favorite, Wild Food
Come on, dudе!

There’s a plant called Goosе Grass or Cleavers
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 your lymphatic but I don’t know what that means
I just like my wild greens

And there’s one called Sea Beet
I’ll bet you can 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

And you oughta eat some Wild Food
‘Cause that’ll help ya, Wild Food
It’ll make ya smarter, Wild Food
Come on, dude!

There’s a little plant called 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 but when I see a patch
I just can’t help but go over and snatch

And you can eat the whole plant of Red Clover
But the flower’s my favorite part
And I’ve heard it’s good for the heart
And speakin’ of the heart, well there’s no better plant than old Hawthorn
Don’t be scared away by the crown Jesus worn

Well he must’ve liked his Wild Food
It used to be all Wild Food
But now it’s rarely Wild Food
Come on, dude!

You work a job for money
You spend the money on food
And then you go to the gym and spend more money
To get rid of the food
Well how ‘bout spendin’ the day outside
Runnin’ through the trees, now that’s exercise
Fillin’ up your basket, snackin’ all the way
Eatin’ that delicious, highly nutritious
The best food available on planet Earth, folks!
Forget about Organic! Forget about Non-GMO!
Just give me some of that Wild Food
It’s all I want now, Wild Food
It’s my favorite, Wild Food
Come on, dude!

Seriously folks
People look down at these plants and call ‘em weeds
I say turn those pests into pesto!!!
