Lyrics Food Glorious Food - Marcus Dods, Charles Brown, Jonathan Collins

Food Glorious Food

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’s not a crust, 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!
Peas, 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
Glorious food
Food, glorious food!
What is there more handsome?
Gulped, swallowed or chewed --
Still worth a king’s ransom!
What is it we dream about?
What 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!
Don’t care what it looks like --
Burned!
Underdone!
Crude!
Don’t care what the cook’s like
Just thinking of growing fat --
Our senses go reeling
One moment of knowing that
Full-up feeling!
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
Beautiful food
Glorious food!
