Fresh From the Ground

Fresh from the Ground

(hear a recording of the working draft - QuickTime best on broadband)

Come to Inala
It happens all the time.
Home made cooking,
That'll blow your mind.

Fresh from the ground,
Fresh from the vine,
It's good for the body,
It's good for the mind.

There's plenty of firewood
For umu and roast,
Taro and banana leaves
You're totoatu host.

Come to Inala
It's happens all the time.
Home made cooking,
That'll blow your mind.

Fresh from the ground,
Fresh from the vine,
It's good for the body,
It's good for the mind.

Mango sandwiches
and a strong cup of tea
biscuits for dunking
and a chocolate - Yes Please!

Pies, fish and chips
A working man's chow
Deadly porcupines
I wish I had some now!

Come to Inala
It's happens all the time.
Home made cooking,
That'll blow your mind.

Fresh from the ground,
Fresh from the vine,
It's good for the body,
It's good for the mind.
