The song is about a man who has spent almost 40 years trying to figure out the secret ingredient that gives his friend's mother's marmalade its unique taste. He goes through many possible ingredients like cinnamon, coffee, vinegar and oyster sauce but cannot identify it. Finally, he realizes he never tried brown sugar, which provides the right taste when he adds it to his own cooking.

Almost 40 years I've been searching high and low What is in that recipe I just gotta know
I’ve been through all ingredients
One and every kind Still there's just this special one I couldn’t find
Did you try cinnamon?
-it gives the sweetest taste Well how about coffee then? -did that but gee what a waste Did you try vinegar? -mmmmm that weren't really it Well what about Oyster sauce? -Oyster sauce??? You know that taste like shit!
Hey what's that funky taste
In your mammas marmalade?
I don't wanna say this
Cause I hate to loose my pride But suddenly it shook me There's one thing I never tried
I ran into the kitchen
Put some heat on my old cooker Finally the taste was right All I needed was BROWN SUGAR
