  It's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  It's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  It's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  Eat a shrimp burrito
  It's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  Time to eat a shrimp burrito
  Do do do dough

  It's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  Oh, bur-ri-to
  O, burrito
  Oh, it's time to eat a shrimp burrito
  Eat a shrimp burrito
  Burrito

Track six on [*Moonlight Beach*](/albums/moonlight-beach/): a California burrito interlude with no verses to hide behind. *It's time to eat a shrimp burrito* until it's true.

Same coastal food geography as [*Feels So Good*](/songs/feels-so-good/) (*burrito de California*, guac no cost) and [*Alright*](/songs/alright/) (beach burritos bigger than your forearm), stripped to pure insistence: *bur-ri-to*, *do do do dough*, done. The palate cleanser between [*Tired of the Sunshine*](/songs/tired-of-the-sunshine/) and [*Meteor Shower*](/songs/meteor-shower/). Hang-out music that sounds like hunger.
