Tanuki Onigiri Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All the customers come Through the screen door grin It is the Tanuki Onigiri time And the day begins All the kids rushin' in With their lunchbox sway All the parents gettin' drinks At the counter, stay [Pre-Chorus] Teacher field trip at the door Little feet on the floor Every smile gets a little more When the rice hits the board [Chorus] Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Hunger turns to gladness (Tanuki Onigiri time) Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Every day feels sunny Cute and ready to shine [Verse 2] Seaweed in a tidy wrap Hands all small and quick Someone says, "I want the one With the crunchy trick" Paper hats and big bright eyes Laughing by the tray One bite in and everybody Stays a little longer, hey [Pre-Chorus] Teacher field trip at the door Little feet on the floor Every heart gets a little more When the whole room roars [Chorus] Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Hunger turns to gladness (Tanuki Onigiri time) Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Every day feels sunny Cute and ready to shine [Bridge] Play, play, play Gladness on the plate Fun, fun, fun That flavor hits first place When the bell says go They still turn around 'Cause the tanuki's little smile Keeps them comin' back downtown [Chorus] Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Hunger turns to gladness (Tanuki Onigiri time) Tanuki Onigiri time (Tanuki Onigiri time) Every day feels sunny Cute and ready to shine
