Food Glorious Food Songtext
von Laurence Jeffcoate

Is it worth the waiting for
If we live ′till eighty-four
All we ever get is
Gruel

Everyday we say our prayer
Will they change the bill of fare
Still we get the same old
Gruel

Theres 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


Peas, pudding and saveloys
What next is the question
Rich gentlemen have it, boys
In-die-gestion!
(Uggh)

Food, glorious food
We're anxious to try it
Three banquets a day
Our favorite diet

Just picture a great big steak
Fried, roasted or stewed
But food
Wonderful food
Marvelous 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 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
In this interlude
Then food
Once again
Fabulous food
Glorious food

Food, glorious food
Don′t care what it looks like
Burned, underdone, crude
Don′t care what the cooks like

Just thinking of growing fat
Our senses go reeling
One moment of knowing that
Full
Up
Feeling

Food, glorious food (Food, glorious food)
What wouldn't we give for (What wouldn′t we give for)
That extra bit more (That extra bit more)
That's all that we live for (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
Fabulous food
Beautiful food
Glorious
Food
