Cilantro On Trial lyrics

The kitchen clock hit midnight The union filled the room Paprika sold another lie I'm smoky, buy me soon Black pepper laughed You're full of smoke Paprika tipped her hat Maybe so But I'm not that The door swung wide Cilantro smiled Nobody smiled back Parsley called the roll Rosemary stayed dry Thyme ignored the drama Cumin asked them why Basil watched in silence Nutmeg crossed the floor Every eye agreed We've seen this act before Out Out of every pan Every meal you touch Turns into cilantro again Out We've had enough The whole damn kitchen Calls your bluff Garlic banged the table Onion seconded the vote Bay leaf never spoke Still earned another note Ginger cut the tension Turmeric stained the page Cinnamon stayed calm Cloves uncaged their rage Paprika cleared her throat I've fooled plenty of cooks Black pepper shrugged We know But even I Would never Destroy a dinner Silence Then applause Out No appeal tonight Frauds may fool a customer You erase every bite Out That's the final call Every spice has flaws Yours swallows them all
