Tanuki Onigiri Time

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All the customers come By the front door line All the kids rush in With their school-day shine All the parents get drinks And grin real wide Teacher field trip All piled inside [Pre-Chorus] Hear that happy hum Feel it in the air Little hands go up Everybody's there [Chorus] It is the Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Hunger turns to gladness Right here in the line Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Every day's a good day When that cute food comes alive [Verse 2] Rice on little palms Wrapped up neat and tight Seaweed like a ribbon Shining in the light One bite, then another Smiles all around This whole room gets louder Once the trays come 'round [Pre-Chorus] Hear that happy hum Feel it in the air Little hands go up Everybody's there [Chorus] It is the Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Hunger turns to gladness Right here in the line Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Every day's a good day When that cute food comes alive [Bridge] Gladness in the paper Fun in every bite Teacher's laughing too On a field-trip day like this We don't need much more Than a song and a grin Tanuki in the window And the whole crowd singing in [Chorus] It is the Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Hunger turns to gladness Right here in the line Tanuki Onigiri time Tanuki Onigiri time Every day's a good day When that cute food comes alive
