They say to write about the things you know well... This is with thanks to all the volunteers who make op-shopping such a pleasure. And yay for Lynda (op-shop queen) who gave me this title!

lyrics

THE THRILL OF THE HUNT (c. Nerida 2008)

If you’re searching for treasure
don’t have to look far,
just hop on your bike
or jump in the car.
Scour the side streets
or right on the main:
once hooked you will find them again and again.

Sweet smiling ladies with silvery hair,
setting up windows with colour & flair,
laughing while sharing the juiciest goss,
$5 a bag if you don’t tell the boss!

Anyone is welcome here to browse or to buy,
Scan the shelves, search the racks,
the hours will fly!
Helping the needy and making shopping fun,
it’s even environmentally friendly,
the op shop is the one!

In this modern age, well our life’s pretty tame,
mass-produced, made in China,
we all look the same.
But there’s no telling what priceless piece you will find -
it’s the thrill of the hunt once you venture inside!

Well off in the city, you couldn’t envision -
Dalmatian coats & gravy boats
in perfect condition!
Platform shoes, outrageous hues
the best retro gear - just don’t
tell them in Sydney what we pay out here!!
