Song Excerpt
You're the artist, you have the power,
Make it sweet or you make it sour.
Give 'em flavor, give 'em flair,
Serves 'em right—show them that you care.
When you use imagination,
You can taste the liberation.
Variety is the spice we use,
Be creative—make something new.
Boom! Catch the rhythm, get yourself in tune,
Til you feelin' everybody in the room.
Keep it movin' and you'll get there soon—
Boom Chop Holla
Greens and eggplant, use it wisely,
Design every dish and try to surprise me.
Slice it wide or peel the skin,
Sometimes go with the mood you're in.
All that's good is in proportion,
Balance is the final fortune.
Add one thing to change the tune,
The sound of applause will fill the room.
