Mango Salt!

Mango salt!
Mango salt!

Night market, vendor shouts
You turn around and shout it back
Chili salt across your fingers
Drum kit kicking from a clothing stand
I buy one tray, you steal one slice
Then point at me like I owe you two
By the third call every table
Knows exactly what we do

Vendor takes a breath
Here it comes

Mango salt! (hey)
One tray (hey)
Whole street (hey)
Mango salt!

Pass it (this way)
Mango salt!

Flower seller starts the answer
Taxi driver taps the horn
Kids by the juice stand clap it double
Old man at the grill joins in
You're laughing too hard to flirt now
I'm dancing with the tray
Nobody knows who started it
That's why it wants to stay

Vendor takes a breath
Here it comes

Mango salt! (hey)
One tray (hey)
Whole street (hey)
Mango salt!

Last two slices, market closing
You take one, I take one
You write your number on the paper tray
In chili salt, before the sun

Mango salt! (hey)
Two of us (hey)
Whole street (hey)
Mango salt!

Mango salt!
