If you stuff a load of cabbage inside of a jar
With a little bit of salt
And a little bit of spice and
Forget about it in the back of the car
A couple of weeks later it tastes real nice
The fermentation age is ragin'
The latest sensation across the nation
Fact is, it's been around for ages
But the ancient flavours still bring elation
It's fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
It can be smooth or chunky
Fonky food, fonky Food
We've been eating it since we were monkeys
Wild soda, nice and fizzy
Just fruit, whey, water and bottle it up
Left too long, it might make you dizzy
But a couple of days will make it ready to pop
Get sourdough rising up on the shelf
Bakin' your bread
No breakin' your head, no trouble
Get a mother from your brother
Or make it yourself
With flour and water
Then wait until it bubbles
Like fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
It can be smooth or chunky
Fonky food, fonky Food
We've been eating it since we were monkeys
Kimchi, kefir, kombucha, kraut
Doesn't take long to figure it all out
Lacto-bacto, accept the facto
Fonky Food is what it's all about
Don't be put off by the smell
Come alive inside and you're living well
Fonked-out food now represent it
Come on and say if like you ferment it
Fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
Make your food get fonky
Fonky food, fonky food
It can be smooth or chunky
Funky food, fonky Food
We've been eating it since we were monkeys
Yoghurt up and dance!
