Cous-cous
A round/chant about Middle Eastern food
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
Olive oil and chickpeas, chumus in a bowl
lyrics by Benjamin Newman
ttto: "Kashkash" by S.J. Tucker
Bread is on the hearth-stone, stew is in the pot
Cous-cous is steaming now, soon it will be hot
Olive oil and chickpeas, chumus in a bowl
Food to feed the body, food to feed the soul
You can make it mild or as spicy as you wish
For cous-cous soaks up all the flavors of the dish
Olive oil and eggplant, pita chips to start
Food to feed the belly, food to feed the heart
Here we have a dish that is certain to appeal
For cous-cous soaks up all the flavors of the meal
