Ghazal in This City – Jamaica Plain

Song lyrics to the tune of Pretty Girls by Iyaz…

So many different flavors

So many shades and spices

You comin’ with me or you goin’ with takeout

No surprise, I put it all on the menu for you

Nothin’s too taboo, I’m ready, and I’ll eat with you

There’s a lot of restaurants in this city

There’s a lot of Indian in this town

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

Trying to find a curry to hold me down

They say for Kashmir on Newberry Street

You gotta have a lot of class

And I heard ain’t nothing like the Mela goat

But you better have a lot of cash

And I know there ain’t nothing like the Tantric bar

Cuz they know how to get you love

No matter where I go

I gotta let you know

That this song is all about Ghazal

See I don’t mean to eat away

The cheese pakora you would not believe

Marveling at the crispy crust

And wishing you would share with me

It’s simple but it’s good stuff

Trust me all you need to know

It’s like an Indian grilled cheese!

There’s only one Ghazal in this city

There’s a lot of Indian in this town

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

The coconut korma can hold me down

Tell me is it Ghazal?

Is it Ghazal? (x3)

I say to get Korma with Lamb

You gotta love your coconut

I heard, to get a lamb so sweet

You gotta have a lot of nerve

And I know, ain’t nothing like this well-cooked meat

And they know how to make it well

And not matter where I go, I gotta let you know

That Ghazal is way out in JP

I don’t mean to run away for paneer that you would not believe

I’m eating all that shahi sauce

I’m wishing you would drive with me

It’s simple cuz it’s just cheese

But it’s all the cream I need to say

It could be my one and only

There’s a lot of Indians in this city

There’s a lot of restaurants in JP

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

There’s a lot of Indian in this city

But Ghazal’s the prettiest checkbook in this town

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

I’m trying to pick the right one

Trying to find a menu to hold me down

Tell me is it Ghazal?

Is it Ghazal? (x4)
