[Intro] (spoken) Pot still warm. That good sign. Maybe very good sign. [Verse 1] Got one mushroom. Got one bone. Got one thing what smell alone. Drop it in. Stir it slow. If it bubble... good to go. Rat bit chewy. Boot bit tough. Bupu say that good enough. Little mud make gravy thick. Little green make stomach quick. [Pre-Chorus] If stew thin, add more stew. If stew gone... make new from old one too. [Chorus] Good stew never die! Good stew only grow! Add more water. Add more things. Nobody need know. Good stew never die! Keep it in the pot. If it taste bad yesterday... today it taste less not. [Verse 2] Found some cabbage. Found some fur. Found one spoon from who-knows-where. Maybe meat. Maybe root. Maybe something lost its hair. One Bulp sniff. One Bulp grin. Whole clan push the bowls back in. Something float. Something sink. Bupu say: “Do not overthink.” [Pre-Chorus] If too salty, add more rain. If too lumpy... stir again. [Chorus] Good stew never die! Good stew only grow! Add more water. Add more things. Nobody need know. Good stew never die! Keep it in the pot. If it taste bad yesterday... today it taste less not. [Spoken Break] No. That not old stew. That... experienced stew. Very different. [Verse 3] Highbulp come with biggest bowl. Say he need the best. Bupu scrape the bottom first. Bottom got most rest. One black lump. One yellow string. One thing still got little wing. Highbulp eat. Highbulp stop. Bupu smile. “Best in pot.” [Call and Response] Bupu: Too much salt? Bulps: ADD WATER! Bupu: Too much water? Bulps: ADD STEW! Bupu: Stew too old? Bulps: NO SUCH THING! Bupu: Stew move by itself? Bulps: EXTRA FRESH! [Final Chorus] Good stew never die! Good stew only grow! Feed one Bulp. Feed one more. Then whole clan eat two. Good stew never die! Scrape the bottom clean. If something crawl out of the pot... put it back with greens. Good stew never die! Best thing Bulps can make. Eat it hot. Eat it cold. Eat what spoon can take. [Outro] (spoken, satisfied) No waste food. Food waste itself. ... Still food.
