Food Glorious Food

BOYS

Is it worth the waiting for?

If we live 'til eighty four

All we ever get is gru...el!

Ev'ry day we say our prayer --

Will they change the bill of fare?

Still we get the same old gru...el!

There is not a cust, not a crumb can we find,

Can we beg, can we borrow, or cadge,

But there's nothing to stop us from getting a thrill

When we all close our eyes and imag...ine

Food, glorious food!

Hot sausage and mustard!

While we're in the mood --

Cold jelly and custard!

Pease pudding and saveloys!

What next is the question?

Rich gentlemen have it, boys --

In-di-gestion!

Food, glorious food!

We're anxious to try it.

Three banquets a day --

Our favourite diet!

Just picture a great big steak --

Fried, roasted or stewed.

Oh, food,

Wonderful food,

Marvellous food,

Glorous food.

Food, glorious food!

What is ther emore handsome?

Gulped, swallowed or chewed --

Still worth a kin's ransom.

What is it we dream about?

Wat brings on a sigh?

Piled pieahes and cream, about

Six feet high!

Food, glorious food!

Eat right through the menu.

Just loosen your belt

Two inches and then you

Work up a new appetite.

In this interlude --

The food,

Once again, food

Fabulous food,

Glorious food.

Food, glorious food!

What wouldn't we give for

That extra bit more --

That's all that we live for

Why should we be fated to

Do nothing but brood

On food,

Magical food,

Wonderful food,

Marvellous food,

Fabulous food,

OLIVER

Beautiful food,

BOYS
