Pass the Bowl

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I found a peanut in my jacket pocket From last October, still forgot I’d locked it Crack went the shell on the kitchen tile You said, “That little snack just made my day worthwhile” [Pre-Chorus] Almonds in a paper cup Cashews when the sun is up Pistachios in a tiny green parade [Chorus] Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Let the good crunch take control Walnut, pecan, hazelnut too There’s a little something salty waiting here for you Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Best small feast we’ve ever known If you save one for later, I’ll understand— But I’m reaching for another with my free hand [Verse 2] Brazil nut sitting like a polished stone Macadamia wearing a crown of its own Chestnut roasting by the market door You bought a bag and then you bought four more [Pre-Chorus] Pine nuts hiding in the rice Peanuts roasted extra nice Every little bite has got a story to tell [Chorus] Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Let the good crunch take control Walnut, pecan, hazelnut too There’s a little something salty waiting here for you Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Best small feast we’ve ever known If you save one for later, I’ll understand— But I’m reaching for another with my free hand [Bridge] No fancy table, no silver spoon Just crumbs collecting underneath the moon You laugh when I say, “This is the last one, true” Then slide the whole bowl over to you [Final Chorus] Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Let the good crunch take control Peanut, cashew, pistachio crew Every happy little handful brings me back to you Pass the bowl, pass the bowl Keep the kitchen singing on When the bottom finally shows, we’ll agree: That was plenty—then we’ll make some more [Outro] Crack, crunch, laugh, repeat Small shell, big treat
