Lyrics

[Intro]
Hoy! Sari-sari!
Hoh. Hahahaha.
Hoooo!
Hey, hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1]
I clock in at sunrise, nose on the glass,
Lola flips the sign, kids start to pass.
Pan de sal warmth, kindness in cups,
I take the morning orders with my ups.
Coins do a jingle, sukli goes cling,
I guard the counter while the neighbors sing.

[Pre-Chorus]
Ring for change, paw for patience,
Smile for tsismis at the stations.

[Chorus]
This is my sari-sari store sonata,
Name your snack and I got ya.
Clap-clap rhythm on the wooden door,
Love on the ledger and a little more.
This is our sari-sari store sonata,
Sunny street, bahala na.
If your day needs one good beat,
Come to the corner where we keep it sweet.
Keep it sweet,

[Verse 2]
Titas trade stories by the candy jars,
Kuya jokes loud like he’s counting stars.
Lola taps prices on a plastic pad,
Winks at me like, "Best boy, not bad."
I walk the aisle, tail like a broom,
Sweep the worries out of the room.

[Pre-Chorus]
Ring for change, paw for patience,
Snack-time choir, all the nations.

[Chorus]
This is my sari-sari store sonata,
Name your snack and I got ya…
Clap-clap rhythm on the wooden door…
This is our sari-sari store sonata…
If your day needs one good beat,
Come to the corner where we keep it sweet.

[Bridge]
One noon the shutter rolled halfway down,
Lola’s chair empty, breeze in the town.
Note on the string said, Back in a while,
I held the doorway, street went mild.
Tito brought water, Tita brought rice,
Neighbors took turns till the night felt nice.
Blue little tent when the rain came hard,
I kept the watch in the sleeping yard.

[Break]
[Shouts:] Hoy! Kaya mo! Sige!
[Dog:] I’m here!

[Chorus]
This is our sari-sari store sonata,
When she returns, we got ya.
Raise that shutter, hear it sing,
Welcome back, let the bell go ding.
This is our sari-sari store sonata,
Lola laughs, salamat ha.
If your day needs one good beat,
We’re on the corner where the hearts all meet.

[Outro]
Home is here!
Home is here!
Home is here!
