No Mushrooms at the Bazaar

Lyrics

She walked in with a mission, bag in hand
Eyes locked on the prize, she had it all planned
Passed the spices, dodged the fish
Only one thing on her wish list

Stall to stall, aisle to aisle
Every vendor gave the same denial

No mushrooms at the bazaar
Looked near, looked far
Every uncle shaking his head
"Try tomorrow, sister," is all they said
No mushrooms at the bazaar

Found tomatoes stacked up to the sky
Chillies, onions — enough to make you cry
Carrots, cabbage, beans galore
Everything she didn't ask for

She showed a picture on her phone
The makcik said, "Aiyoh, semua dah gone!"

No mushrooms at the bazaar
Looked near, looked far
Every uncle shaking his head
"Try tomorrow, sister," is all they said
No mushrooms at the bazaar

She stood there in the crowd, defeated and confused
A whole bazaar of everything — but the one thing that she'd choose
The craving's getting louder, the sun is getting hot
She fasted all day dreaming of a mushroom — and it's all for nought!

NO MUSHROOMS AT THE BAZAAR
She looked near, she looked FAR
Walked home empty-handed, stomach in despair
There were a thousand things — but no mushrooms there
No mushrooms at the bazaar
(No mushrooms anywhere!)

Maybe tomorrow… maybe tomorrow…
