[Tune-Yards - Interlude: Why Do We Dine on the Tots? lyrics]
Why Must We Dine on the Tots?
Old grandfather Lou begged a question at
Supper as mother defrosted the
Meat from the tupperware casserole dish
With the red polka dots
"why must we dine on the tots?"
"Oh grandpa!", she said
With disparaging tone
"you've been spending too much
Of your dying alone
Time by reading those books
Having radical thoughts
(radical thoughts) Of course we must
Dine on the tots what good were those kids
Before they were our
Food, outrageously smelly
Impulsive and rude thus you know very
Well that the fresh produce rots so clearly
We'll dine on the tots"
"I remember, " said Lou
"when we all looked ahead your
Rationale's crummy who'll live
When I'm dead? My nightmares these days
Ties my insides in knots oh
Why do we feed on our tots?"
But before he could finish
(but before he could finish)
His daughter placed a fork
To his lips and transformed by
The taste he exclaimed
"Oh the flavor! How I savor it! How
Did we live before dining on tots!
(tots tots tots) "
Old grandfather Lou begged a question at
Supper as mother defrosted the
Meat from the tupperware casserole dish

Dine on the tots what good were those kids
