Sushi

The city sleeps, the streetlights gleam, but in my mind, a culinary dream.
It isn't pizza, it ain't no steak, it's the flavour journey I have to take.
I see the counter, cool and clean, the sharpest knife I’ve ever seen.
The chef bows low, a silent code, preparing wonders for the road.
Give me a seat, right up front, I’m ready now to do my stunt.
​
Oh, Sushi night, the ocean's call, I want to taste and try them all.
Nigiri smooth, the fish on rice, it feels like heaven, tastes so nice.
Roll it up, a perfect Maki ring, the crunch of tempura, everything.
Wasabi heat and soy sauce deep, secrets the midnight menu keeps.
​
Let’s start with colour, vibrant hues, the deep red of Maguro I can’t refuse.
The pale pink slice of Sake bright, reflecting 'neath the restaurant light.
Then comes the texture, Unagi sweet, the buttery melt I can’t be beat.
The delicate layer of nori wrap, holding the flavour in a trap.
A little slice of ginger clear, to wash away the salty fear.
​
Oh, Sushi night, the ocean's call, I want to taste and try them all.
Nigiri smooth, the fish on rice, it feels like heaven, tastes so nice.
Roll it up, a perfect Maki ring, the crunch of tempura, everything.
Wasabi heat and soy sauce deep, secrets the midnight menu keeps.
​
From the simple roll of a Tekka Maki, to a custom creation, spicy and wacky.
The rice outside, the fish inside, nowhere on earth I’d rather hide.
With chopsticks in hand, I make my move, the ultimate food I always approve.
It’s art and flavour, one small plate, this is my destiny, this is my fate.

​
Yeah, the taste of the sea, the perfect bite.
Every kind of roll, making everything right.
No other craving can compare...
Sushi!
