The Umeboshi Song

(album: Walk Off The Earth & Romeo Eats, Vol. 3 - 2023)

Umeboshi, you gotta mix it
Umeboshi, you gotta mix it
Just a dash of the dashi powder, s'all that it needs
Sprinkle on the seaweed flakes, and sesame seeds
Pair it up with sticky rice
Tear it up and take a bite
You'll be saying where have you been all my life!?

The Umeboshi plum
Totemo oishii, totemo oishii
The Tsukemono from
Wakayama, yum, totemo oishii

Umeboshi plum, Umeboshi
Umeboshi plum, Umeboshi

From June until July
While the Ume trees are ripe
First they're pickled, then they're dried
Rations for the Samurai

Pair it up with sticky rice
Tear it up and take a bite
You'll be saying where have you been all my life!?
Tsukemono, tsukemono!

The Umeboshi plum
Totemo oishii, totemo oishii
The Tsukemono from
Wakayama, yum, totemo oishii

Umeboshi plum, Umeboshi (umeboshi)
Umeboshi plum, Umeboshi (umeboshi)

Pair it up with sticky rice
Tear it up and take a bite
You'll be saying where have you been all my life!?

The Umeboshi plum
Totemo oishii, totemo oishii
The Tsukemono from
Wakayama, yum, totemo oishii

Umeboshi, you gotta mix it (all my life, life)
Umeboshi, no no no no (all my life)
Umeboshi, you gotta mix it (all my life, life)
Umeboshi, no no no no
(This is the, this is the Umeboshi)

The Umeboshi plum
Totemo oishii, totemo oishii
The Tsukemono from
Wakayama, yum, totemo oishii

Umeboshi plum, Umeboshi
(Umeboshi, gotta mix them, wait)
Umeboshi plum, (No no no no)
This is the, this is the Umeboshi
