Ginger Can’t Have Ginger

[Verse 1] Kate walked in with her fiery hair, Freckles shining in the clinic air. Doctor said, “We’ll run some tests, See what’s making you feel your best… or less.” [Pre-Chorus] She sat there calm, gave a little sigh, Thought, “No big deal, just tell me why My throat gets tight, my nose gets sore I just won’t eat it anymore!” [Chorus] Oh, the irony, can’t you see? A ginger allergic to ginger—how can this be? Spicy little root that she used to adore, Now it’s the enemy forevermore! [Verse 2] She loved her chai, her gingerbread, Her sushi rolls—now she’s filled with dread. “Say it ain’t so!” she cried in vain, But that spice only brought her pain. [Pre-Chorus] Doctor laughed, said, “Well, ain’t that neat? Life sure loves a joke so sweet. You might be red, but take my advice— Better stay away from that spice!” [Chorus] Oh, the irony, can’t you see? A ginger allergic to ginger—how can this be? Spicy little root that she used to adore, Now it’s the enemy forevermore! [Bridge] No more tea with honey and zest, No more stir-fry, no Thai Express. No ginger snaps on Christmas Eve, Just a label-checking life to lead! [Chorus] Oh, the irony, can’t you see? A ginger allergic to ginger—how can this be? Life’s got jokes, and this one’s cruel, Mother Nature plays by her own rules! [Outro] So if you see Kate in the grocery line, Scanning labels, taking her time, Give her a wink, let her know you care Just don’t offer her ginger, beware!
