Features driving dhol and tabla rhythms, sizzling cinematic strings, and a bright, playful vocal.] Lyrics: [Intro: Energetic tabla rhythm, punctuated by bright string stabs.] [Verse 1] Deep beneath the Asian soil, a rhizome starts to grow A warming little wonder that the ancient people know We call it a root with a poetic kind of flair Bringing the heat and the zing to the air! [Chorus] G is for Ginger, the warming of the tea! Gingerols sparking like a fire in the sea A thousands of years as a comforting friend From the kitchen to the cup, right to the very end! [Verse 2] It supports the digestion, settles down the pace A classic in the recipes, winning every race Steep it in the water, grate it in the pan Ginger is a treasure for every single man! [Outro] Songs That Supplement... bringing the heat... (Tabla rolls into silence)
