Kamayan

An original song by me, Kimberly Jordan (aka Kimberly AJ)

Lyrics

 * Because of who I am
 * There is a word that has to do
 * With eating food with your hands
 * Such as whole fruits like apples, oranges and bananas
 * And baked things like pizza and bagels so grand


 * I first started doing this thing
 * When I got a little old enough
 * And now, I'm having it for the rest of my life
 * For some easy stuff
 * The Fil-Americans call it kamayan


 * Kamayan means that you can just use your hands
 * To eat the simple foods you can eat
 * Like hot-dogs, French fries and cheeseburgers too
 * And also donuts as a well-known baked treat


 * For hot days, I can have soft-swirling ice cream
 * On a big cone, that's kamayan
 * Cupcakes in every shape you can make your own
 * That's kamayan


 * Potato chips in every flavor I've seen
 * Crackers in all colors, including pink and green
 * Danishes and eclairs make some people keen
 * All of that is kamayan


 * Pocky and Yan-Yan sticks
 * And Hello Panda biscuit cookies
 * They all have flavored cream to make them taste good
 * I've tasted them all in all the flavors I like
 * Might be more flavors that they would, it's kamayan


 * Simple and fancy candies
 * In every shape and size
 * Every texture in all my years
 * When I go traveling I taste all those
 * Like one or two flavors a good life appears


 * Kamayan is a fun thing both indoors and out
 * From breakfast to dessert and there is no doubt
 * Let's hope this world would be nice from now on
 * What is a world without kamayan?
