Ode to the Milk Arrowroot

Liner Notes

A silly song. This was written in a session with my mentor Rhys Renwick at my course Wild at Heart.

The impetus behind this song came from when I had Damian Cowell from TISM as a mentor, and he was holding the songwriting workshops at the time. During a break in the songwriting class, he ate an Arnott's Milk Arrowroot biscuit and commented, "I hope they don't stop production of that".

This was recorded in the small office at Sol Green Community Centre in South Melbourne, on the 11th of September.

Lyrics

I like milk arrowroot biscuits
I hope they don't stop production of that
I like milk arrowroot biscuits
The sweet arrowroot flavour is where it's at

What the hell is an arrowroot?
I never heard of such a plant
Arnott's, why are you hiding the truth?
It doesn't matter, I'm a lifelong fan

The tasty crunch in my mouth
I can't ever get enough
Ovular biscuits is what I'm all about
Man I love that stuff

I like to dip it in milk on a Saturday evening
Or on a Sunday afternoon
It's so buttery silk when it's softened and believe me
I'm a biscuit loon

Hunger wrecks my concentration
Gotta have a snack
That biscuit in the tin
Would help keep me on track

I like milk arrowroot biscuits
I hope they don't stop production of that
I like milk arrowroot biscuits
The sweet arrowroot flavour is where it's at

I like milk arrowroot biscuits
I hope they don't stop production of that
I like milk arrowroot biscuits
The sweet arrowroot flavour is where it's at

I like milk arrowroot biscuits
I hope they don't stop production of that
I like milk arrowroot biscuits
The sweet arrowroot flavour is where it's at
