Lyrics

Turns out after all it was basic country mustard
That was the gold that the alchemists foretold
You can make it on your own by grinding seeds and liquid
The ancient Chinese (back in 1000bc), the Romans and Japanese
They all liked country mustard
Grapes and seaweed, all kinds of recipes, but on this they were agreed
The liquid must be cool and in the case of English mustard
It's just water and seeds, that's everything you need
But you have to crush 'em good to bring out their fiery flavour
Americans stick honey in the mix
Oh but that is not the fix that this Englishman is after
It's time for a dose, of something bellicose
No more David John Morose
I want to keep it hot, yes you know it's true
Not just for one night, oh what can I do?
It's salt and vinegar I need: They can clean a wound
And they can help my mustard keep
Uh-huh
Perhaps if not forever
Long enough for
A feast upon the floor
Oh Dijon, je vous adore!
Some people will reject your basic country mustard
If you're trying to keep everybody sweet
Then you better wipe your feet when you bring them fancy pastries
With thousands of folds keep the butter very cold
But if you want to break the hold of your daydreams and nostalgia
Stop pushing down your edges and your crown
And your special kind of frown get your mortar and your pestle
Grind 'em and see what you're really meant to be: something shockingly spicy
I want to keep it hot, yes you know it's true
Not just for one night, oh what can I do?
It's salt and vinegar I need: They can clean a wound
And they can help my mustard keep
Uh-huh
Perhaps if not forever
Long enough for
A feast upon the floor
Oh Dijon, je vous adore!
Turns out after all it was basic country mustard
That was the gold that the alchemists foretold
Pungent, piquant, bright and bold
