"Cous-cous" lyrics by Benjamin Newman ttto: "Kashkash" by S.J. Tucker Bread is on the hearth-stone, stew is in the pot Cous-cous is steaming now, soon it will be hot Olive oil and chickpeas, chumus in a bowl Food to feed the body, food to feed the soul You can make it mild or as spicy as you wish For cous-cous soaks up all the flavors of the dish Olive oil and eggplant, pita chips to start Food to feed the belly, food to feed the heart Here we have a dish that is certain to appeal For cous-cous soaks up all the flavors of the meal
