Umami Out

[Verse 1] I got a pocket full of crystals, shining in the light Walking down the alley in the middle of the night A shady little whisper, a tap upon my shoulder "Hey man, you got that flavor? It's getting cold and colder" I pulled out a baggie, sparkling and clean The purest Monosodium Glutamate you've ever seen He took a little pinch, put it right on his tongue His eyes went wide, a brand new song was sung! [Chorus] Umami! Umami! The king of the taste! Don't let a single crystal ever go to waste! I trade the white powder, the magic savory dust In the search for the flavor, in MSG we trust! (Oh yeah, make it savory!) [Verse 2] The culinary narcs are trying to shut me down They say that "Chinese Restaurant Syndrome" is in town But that's a myth, baby, science cleared my name I'm spreading salty goodness, dominating the game! I trade it for some garlic, I swap it for some lime For a pinch of my powder, they will do some hard time My soup is getting richer, my gravy is so thick Just a tiny little sprinkle does the magic trick! [Chorus] Umami! Umami! The king of the taste! Don't let a single crystal ever go to waste! I trade the white powder, the magic savory dust In the search for the flavor, in MSG we trust! [Outro] Yeah, keep it shaking. Pass the bag. That's the good stuff. Umami... out. [Fade Out] [End]
