Pods,
Since we're discussing an anthem, I started thinking about the words to the
Battle Hymn of the Republic ... wrath, fire, suffering, hey! This sounds
like a hotluck menu! So I came up with this. It doesn't exactly roll off
the tongue, but then, neither does the original.
- A
Mine eyes have seen the glory of El Grande rising higher
He has trampled out the blandness, every meal a blazing pyre.
He has smote the ill-advised with the awful Ring of Fire
His heat is marching on!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
His heat is marchin on.
I have seen his subjects gathered 'round the watchfires in the camps
They have taken up a harvest in the evening dews and damps
I can see him in the cookpot by the dim and flaring lamps
His heat is marching on!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
His heat is marchin on.
I have read the blazing recipes wherein his spawn is found
He has graced my humble kitchen by the pinch and by the pound
He may come in firey liquid or in powder finely ground
His heat is marching on!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
His heat is marchin on.
He will banish the infernal from upon the judgement seat
Oh be brave my heart to answer him, be swift my lagging feet!
His heat is marching on!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
His heat is marchin on.
With the beauty of a lily he appeals to you and me
As he grows to give us flavor, let us cook to set it free
El Grande marching on!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
Glory! Glory! Habanero!
His heat is marchin on.
