[Verse 1] Hot stove, flame low, bowl of rice on the side Got a cleaver in my hand and the veggies sliced wide Little sesame drizzle, hear the sizzle ignite I was a brand-new cook tryin’ to get it all right Then my mentor in an apron with a grin so sly Said “You’re burnin’ all your garlic, you’re runnin’ too dry Grab a wok, little rookie, let it kiss the sky— Flip the food with your wrist, never let it just fry!” [Pre-Chorus] So I leaned right in, heat hittin’ my face Oil shimmerin’ thin like it’s ready to race He said, “Move fast, don’t you freeze in place— If you’re stirrin’ too slow, you’ll be tastin’ disgrace!” [Chorus] Wok this way! Just give it a toss Wok this way! Let the veggies get gloss Wok this way! Stir it quick, stir it hot Just wok this way and cook what you’ve got! ⸻ [Verse 2] Had the onions goin’ golden, then they started to brown He said, “Pull ’em out early, kid, or burn ’em straight down Add the protein to the middle, push the rest all around— Keep the flame like a dragon if you want that sound.” Then he showed me how to swirl in a sauce so sweet With a tap of rice wine, hear the steam retreat “Keep the pan movin’, don’t accept defeat— When the wok breath speaks, it’s a beautiful heat.” [Pre-Chorus] And the smoke curled up like a dancing wave I was learnin’ pretty fast how a stir-fry behaves He said, “Taste everything, don’t just try to be brave— Season bold, my friend—fortune favors the crave!” [Chorus] Wok this way! Let the ginger parade Wok this way! Get the flavors all swayed Wok this way! Hear the skillet just rock Just wok this way—master the wok! ⸻ [Bridge] Flip high, don’t cry if you drop one pea Every chef in the world’s lost a stir-fry spree But when the wok breath hits with its melody— That smoky kiss is your PhD. ⸻ [Final Chorus] Wok this way! Spin the noodles in flight Wok this way! Let the garlic ignite Wok this way! Stir it fast, stir it strong Just wok this way and cook along! Wok this way! Yeah, raise that pan Wok this way! Show ’em all you can Wok this way! Make the veggies sway Just wok this way—every day!
