Lyrics
Oh, thank you thank you cacao trees
From every chocolate eater
The chocolate made from your cacao beans
Makes life a little sweeter
Now to the rainforest we go
Where the cacao trees all grow
Producing cacao pods, a fruit with a secret
Just take off the peel and hiding beneath it
Are giant white beans covered in sugary slime (You heard right)
So you take the pods and remove the beans
Then ferment them, and what that means is that
There's yeast all over them munching the goo
That's a win-win for yeast and you
Cause the yeast turns sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide
Which cleans off the beans, slimy outside
But even once, fermentation's complete
There's a lot you gotta do before it's ready to eat
You gotta clean the beans, dry the beans
Roast and peel and grind the beans
Combine the beans with sugar
Maybe add in some milk
And then you mix it all up
Till it's smooth as silk
Then it hardens in a mold
Into something you can hold
That's a bar I wouldn't trade for a bar of gold
Thank you thank you cacao trees
From every chocolate eater, (every one of us)
The chocolate made from your cacao beans
Makes life a little sweeter, (so much sweeter)
Oh, cacao tree we thank you so
For making life more yummy, (thank you!)
So please accept our gratitude
From the bottom of our tummy
