Food, Glorious FoodBack to Song Category List Page Song Lyrics:
Is it worth waiting for, if we live till eighty-four All we ever get is gruel. Every day we say a prayer/gruel Will they change the bill of fare? Still we get the same old 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 imagine Food, glorious food, hot sausage and mustard While we're in the mood, cold jelly and custard Peace pudding and saveloys, what next is the question? Rich gentlemen have it boys, indigestion 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, marvelous food, glorious food Food, glorious food, what is there more handsome? Gulped, swallowed or chewed, still it's worth a king's ransom What is it we dream about, what brings on a sigh? Piled peaches 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, this interlude Then food, once again, food, fabulous food Food, glorious food, don't care what it looks like Burned, under done, crude, don't care what it cooks like Just thinking of growing fat, sets our senses 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, marvelous food
