Reaction to our jingle for The Manila Machine food truck has been outstanding since the promotional video made its debut last month, and some of you in Interwebzville have been asking where one can find the song. Well, you’ve come to the right place. You can download the entire tune – for free – as an iTunes-ready MP3 right here!

You’ve fed yourselves with some of that sarap Manila Machine grub. Now it’s time to feed your iPods with 3 minutes of funk.

(Okay, yeah, you have to jump through a couple hoops there (we just wanna make a few more friends…), but c’mon, it’s a free download!)

Lyrics:

The Manila Machine
Music and Lyrics By Elson Trinidad

Walkin’ down Los Angeles streets
I’m gettin’ kinda hungry, gotta find something to eat
So many choices in the local food truck scene
But I gotta check my Twitter, for the Manila Machine

Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila Machine
Shining rays of orange, it’s a sight that must be seen
Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila Machine
Make that truck your destination for Filipino cuisine
The Manila Machine!

Hoy!

They got longganisa sliders and sisig over rice
And that Filipino breakfast, you know silog’s so nice!
They got turon for me, ube cupcakes just for you
Don’t forget the chicken adobo and that lumpia too

Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila Machine
Shining rays of orange, it’s a sight that must be seen
Manila, Manila, Manila, Manila Machine
Make that truck your destination for Filipino cuisine
The Manila Machine!

Hoy!
