Original Doug Heyes lyrics · AI-generated music & vocals

An exuberant narrator invites companions into an imagined cacao celebration that mixes Amazonian references, spiritual language, chocolate and intoxicating revelry. Its playful exaggerations carry the gathering through the night toward sunrise. The lyric treats ceremony as a shared, unruly adventure rather than offering a factual account or practical guide.

CACAO CEREMONY

Cacao Ceremony
Down in the Amazon
Cacao Ceremony
On the road to Babylon
Shaman and Shamana
Cool hasta manana
Smoking Marijuana
Swimming with Piranhas

Cacao Ceremony
The Best of the Best
There is nothin' like it
Even way out in the West
Cacao Ceremony
We are truly blessed
Come and bring your Honey
To our little Ceremony

We got chocolate in a vat
Got a Himalayan Cat
Got Sinister and Dexter
And a Spiritual Protector
Got a doctor right on call
If we need his help at all
Cuz we'll be bouncing off the walls
And we'll all be trippin' balls

Yeah, that's right, you know it
Chocolate gets you high
You'll try not to show it
And you might want to cry
But come on, little sister
Give this thing a try
You can miss her when you kiss her
But don't ever say Goodbye

Cacao Ceremony
Gonna make it run all Night
Cacao Ceremony
Till the Sun is burnin' bright
Rub a little Magic
From 3 Aladdin's lamps
Cuz come tomorrow mornin'
You'll be doin' the Sundance

OUTRO & OUT
