Is it a food?
Or is it a spice?
Some say it's nasty
But I say it's nice
It's intense, and sharp and pungent
And it leaves you feeling strong
So listen to our blessing of this
Lovely clove in song

May the breath of Garlic
Shine upon your teeth
Blessing ev'ry thing above
And ev'rything beneath

May the joy of Garlic
Invigorate your days
For life just tastes much richer with some Garlic

My love and I have a garlic pact
We both eat some or neither
For if you eat it by yourself
Then you're the "heavy breather!"

The world's divided in two camps
You don't like it-or you do
You can't escape that aroma
So in which camp are you?

You love or hate the Stinking Rose
There is no in between
But garlic kills bacteria
And keeps your system clean

Never mind your garlic salt
I like my garlic fresh
It works for vegetarians
But it's also great with - flesh!

Garlic, how I love thee
Let me count the ways
In stews and salads, soups and sauces
And always in sautés

Not just an ingredient
It's a food group all its own
But any way you use it
We crave garlic

I just peeled a dozen cloves
I don't find that a chore
Gosh, that doesn't look like much
Let's peel a dozen more

When garlic hits hot olive oil
Then life is very good
Toss with pasta, grate some cheese 
Now that's what I call food!

Dip some bread in garlic oil
Or roast me up some cloves 
Crush and smear on garlic toast
And wolf it down in loaves 

Maybe not for breakfast...
But on second thought-who knows?
How much garlic is too much?
Let's see how the wind blows

May the bloom of garlic
Fumigate your soul
Savor ev'ry taste you get
And make your spirit whole

Any way you like it
Garlic's good for you
Let us share our pungent love of
Garlic

Yes, let us bless the fragrant gift of Garlic
