Pass the Bowl Around

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Crack on the table, little wooden bowl Peanuts in a paper sack, almonds in a row Cashew curled like a tiny comma Pistachio grinning, green as summer [Pre-Chorus] You pick one, I pick two Save the honey-roasted ones for you [Chorus] Nuts, nuts, pass the bowl around Tiny little treasures making that crunchy sound Nuts, nuts, salted, sweet, and brown If the lid is left unlocked, they’ll all be gone by sundown [Verse 2] Walnut wearing ridges like a mountain map Pecan on the napkin in a caramel cap Hazelnut hiding underneath the cookie Macadamia looking rich and fancy [Pre-Chorus] You pick one, I pick two There’s a pistachio stuck inside my shoe [Chorus] Nuts, nuts, pass the bowl around Tiny little treasures making that crunchy sound Nuts, nuts, salted, sweet, and brown If the lid is left unlocked, they’ll all be gone by sundown [Bridge] Crack, crack, twist, twist Which one did we miss? Shake the empty jar—no way We finished every last one today [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] Nuts, nuts, pass the bowl around Tiny little treasures making that crunchy sound Nuts, nuts, salted, sweet, and brown One more for the road, then we’ll put the snacks back down [Outro] Crack on the table, laughter in the room Leave a little handful for tomorrow afternoon
