Natasha L Scragg Poet Lyric

In Nando's

( A Parody. To be sang to the tune of  "Fernando" by the famous
   pop group ABBA )

When we met that night in Nando's
We were waiting for a while standing in that hungry queue,
It was my first taste of Nando's
Crispy fried sweet chilli chicken chunks and thighs
You chose a barbecued flavour sauce in which to dip your fries.

We asked for take away at Nando's.
We ate whilst we went walking through the park.
It wasn't far from Nando's.
We enjoyed our chatter and our laughter til the sky turned dark.
We paced beneath the moon and stars along the path
To the beat of our hearts.

(Chorus...

We got more than what we ordered there!
Love filled the air 
In Nando's!
Everyone else simply blurred away,
My heart you swayed 
In Nando's.
Though we only went in for some food,
We felt something new.
If we started on this path again,
Would it begin
In Nando's? )

How we remember Nando's
Celebrating our special wedding anniversary!
We got a take away from Nando's
And went back to the park where you etched into a tree
The outline of a chicken round the names of you and me!

( Chorus )

Yes if we started on this path again,
Would it begin
In Nando's?

Ink Empress September 11, 2023 at 6:53 AM As someone that loves nandos , this left me craving now for nandos. Brilliant lyrical write. So well crafted Natasha L Scragg September 11, 2023 at 2:22 PM Thank you :-D I have to admit I've never been to Nandos. But I looked it up online. And I thought how close it was to the title of ABBA's song, "Fernando". Enjoy your meal from Nandos :-D
