Plant Milk

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!
