oliver! (musical) - food, glorious food lyrics

Loading...

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 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

beautiful food
glorious food!
