My Belly - Aesop Rock

6AM and I’m dyin' for breakfast

Yawn and stretch then I’m diving for shellfish

Back up at the surface in a second or three

With a trophy Abalone from the depths of the sea

Water front critters in a symphony of sniggers

That’s a pretty big meal for a pretty little dipper

How you gonna carry home all that food

I’m a kick back slow and point my toes at the moon

Cause

My Belly is a table

My Belly is a table

When I’m laying on my back

Snack plate upon my navel

Escargot, crab salad on a bagel

My Belly is a table

Say, say say what?!

6PM clam diggin all day

Big fat Belly like the grand buffet

You bobbin with the best back stroke on the river

Potlucks stretch from his throat to his liver

I’m never late for dinner, I make no reservations

All I do is pirouette into a den of celebration

With a delicate maneuver truth be told

My otter pop used to call it the sushi roll

You see…

My Belly is a table

My Belly is a table

When I’m laying on my back

Snack plate upon my navel

Crawdad, cocktail, prawns, basil

My Belly is a table

Say, say say what?!

Shhh shhhh who’s making all that noise!

We’re trying to sleep!

I’m trying to sleep over here!

Me too, me too, me too

Me too, me too, me too

Who’s that?

Twelve o’clock midnight quiet on a beach

Not a creature is stirring they’re defiantly asleep

All except one, eyes peeking at the shore

Mind on his stomach and his stomach on more

Slip in to the water where he nestled with the bottom

If he wrestle with the mussel he will render it forgotten

Rise with the take found lights in his face

And the whole wide lake lights like surprise we’re awake!

(Surprise yayyyy!)

I hope he caught more than one!

(That'd be great, food, food, foood, food)

My Belly is a table

My Belly is a table

When I’m laying on my back

Snack plate upon my navel

Calamari pan fried scallops and potato

My Belly is a table

Say, say say what?!

Say, say say what?!

Say, say say what?!
