oliver - food, glorious food lyrics

Loading...

[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’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!
pease pudding and saveloy!
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 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 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 appet-te.
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,

[oliver]
beautiful food,

[boys]
glorious food
