I hope you'll enjoy our "Plant Milk".song!
I wrote this as a joyful ode to the many yummy milk alternatives made from plants, and also as a reminder that we have a choice with every sip to choose milk that contributes to the liberation of animals rather than their suffering. In a world where we're constantly trying to figure out how to do less harm, switching to plant milk is one step in that direction we can take every single day!
Lyrics:
VERSE 1
Pour it in a cup
And drink it all up
Bake it into your birthday cake
Or fry it up in a flap jack griddle cake hot cake pancake
Put it in your cookie dough
And in your tea or your turmeric latte oh
PRE-CHORUS
Which milk? Nut milk
What kind of milk? Seed milk
Whose milk? Plant milk
What kind of milk? Dairy-free milk
Rice milk
Nice milk
Soy milk
Joy milk
CHORUS
Plant milk
It makes you dance milk
Give it a chance milk
Start a new romance milk
VERSE 2
Mix it in your hot chocolate
I know you like a lot of it
Derive your ice cream from it
You know it’s super creamy, super yummy
Put it in your plant based mac and cheese
Use it in your cereal or oatmeal please
PRE-CHORUS
Which milk? Flax milk
What kind of milk? Pea milk
Whose milk? Banana milk
What kind of milk? Could you please pass the
Rice milk
Nice milk
Soy milk
Joy milk
CHORUS
Plant milk
It makes you dance milk
Give it a chance milk
Start a new romance milk
BRIDGE
You know none of this milk comes from a mama cow
She makes hers for her babies, and only for her babies
So what are we doing? We’re not baby cows!
Those mother cow udders aren’t our property
And we wouldn’t drink milk from our dog, now would we?
Or a cat or a hamster or a coyote
So let’s leave that milk where it was meant to be
And get our milk instead from the plants we see
And I know you might wonder, do plants have udders? No!
Then how do you get milk from oats soy and all the others
There’s lots of different methods, depending on the plant
Soak ‘em grind ‘em blend ‘em strain ‘em something like that
You can learn all about it on the Internet
VERSE 3
Oh the milk of human kindness
Is the milk that doesn’t blind us
To the suffering in which we participate
When we don’t make choices that liberate
What kind of world do you wanna live in?
One where we care for our animal friends?
Then choose plant milk, cheese, sour cream, yogurt, butter
And nobody has to share their udders! oh
PRE-CHORUS
Which milk? Oat milk
What kind of milk? Hazelnut milk
Whose milk? Pistachio milk
What kind of milk? Coconut milk
Rice milk
Nice milk
Soy milk
Joy milk
CHORUS
Plant milk
It makes you dance milk
Give it a chance milk
Start a new romance milk
I’m loving me some plant milk
Take a second glance milk
Snap out of your trance milk
Clarify your stance milk
You’ll be so advanced milk
Wear your plant pants milk
I'm lovin’ on the plant milk
Start a new romance milk
Plant milk!
